hey. welcome to psychcentral :-)
sounds to me like you are doing some really good work in therapy. i don't think that it is wrong for you to feel so attached or to seek comfort. i think that where you are at is part of the process of working through the feelings. i guess... i feel similarly dependent / needy / clingy / scared of abandonment with respect to my therapist. i'm terrified i'll say or do something that will result in his cringing from me with disgust or result in his yelling at me to get the hell out and never come back. i get real scared about that. but... its because of past stuff. i'm hoping that working through these feelings with him... allowing myself to need him and cling to him and stuff... will eventually result in my being able to be more intimate with people outside therapy. i'm hoping it will result in my being able to trust people better and let them in emotionally better and not have to push them away so much. i hope...

it is scary though, huh. really, very.
