That definitely could be it. I know in my case, I had a very secure family life and so I just don't have problems forming healthy, secure attachments with other people. I have lots of other issues, but attachment isn't one of them
. So, I had no problem trusting my therapist. I don't have a longing for him or fear of losing him. He's an important figure in my life and I care about him within the bounds of his role in my life. We get along well and are close, but I wouldn't place him as more important than others or more consuming to my thoughts than others.
