Part of therapy is about working through our issues that have resulted from our caretaker's poor attachment with us. That we are able to attach to a t is a wonderful thing, as for others it takes a very long time, or not at all....so consider it a step in the right direction that you have attached.
''How attached is too attached'' Now THAT'S a good question! I guess there's healthy attachment and unhealthy attachment. If I am attaching to my t in an unhealthy way then this will work itself out within the therapeutic relationship. For example, t will take care of her own boundaries. Or, t will steer me toward more healthy ways of coping. Get what I'm saying?
Probably if you google 'healthy attachment' you'll get a whole lot more. And while you're at it why not google 'unhealthy attachment in therapy'....
Best of luck, and WELCOME TO PC!
