Hi everyone. I'm really new here, and all over the place mentally at the moment, so be kind! I did an intro post at the introduction form.

I have seen my psychotherapist since Sept. '06, and right away I thought there was a connection. I've seen many counselors/social workers/therapists over the years and they all were horrible - except one - who had to leave soon after I was referred to her because of maternity. So this causes extreme abandonment fears when I'm in therapy. But this therapist I see now is really caring, and seems to really "get it".

I have MPD - which she is extremely new too - but has been wonderful with my little ones - and wonderful with all the things my alters have talked about wit her.

Memories are flooding forward, and she's really done well with helping us all feel safe and secure with her in her office. My little ones have called her on many occassions, and once even went to her office after hours because they were scared of a storm - and she let them just sit with her until my friend picked us up.

She's gone above and beyond in helping us feel safe, which is awesome. But, with my extreme abandonment fears, I always worry we're too attached - that we look to her too much - or that we rely on her too much. I worry somewhere along the way we will disclose something that will make her "leave us". She promises up and down that she's not going anywhere, which causes us to cling to her more.

Is it wrong to be sooo attached?
Is it wrong to seek this comfort from her?
How attached is "too attached", or is there such a thing in theapy?

Not sure if this made sense... But yeah..
