I swear my T encourages the attachment (which I HATE having). I can call, Email or text her anytime I wish, and at times she initiates check-ins with me. I see her twice a week, so I really shouldn't need that in-between session contact. She is very open to hugs and touch in therapy, uses "pet" names during sessions, and really does not help me not feel attached to her. I think she's a great T, but I also think I'm more attached than I should be.
