Perhaps there is a patter of those, with a specific diagnosis, that get attached to their therapist, say like those with Borderline Personality Disorder or Complex PTSD. Maybe this thread can be a research study. Everyone sound off. Diagnosis and unhealthy attachment or not.
Me: Complex PTSD, BPD, Bulimic- Totally unhealty attachment, can't live without him, obsessive need to always stay in contact, panic when I think I can never see or hear from him again. I love him(Not errotic-no desire to have sex with him)

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
