I have to agree with you on this. I can't imagine taking this with a T- I personally don't want want that kind of disclosure- it would be TMI for me. I also don't think a T's attachment to clients is always indicative of their attachment style in ther personal life, though that probably depend on the T. Perhaps a T who has an insecure attachment style to the extreme would show more dysfunction in any relationship regardless of the context.
