I'm trying to understand my attachment needs in therapy. I'd like to hear people's views on this: it's my guess that there are some people (like me), Who experienced emotional neglect as an infant, for whom attachment surfaces as an issue in therapy? I have a hunch that maybe if someone experiences trauma later in life but who had more of their emotional needs met as an infant that attachment might not be such a big issue? Perhaps it is also true that the nature of being an infant is that not all your emotional wants can be met as you do have to separate from your caregiver, so there can be slight trauma in it for everyone? I'm thinking of starting with a new T and this is why Im thinking about this question, I'm trying to understand whether my attachment needs might be different to some others in therapy? I'm wondering what proportion of clients have attachment issues with their T? I guess no one can answer that question, also the issues would all vary in their intensity. I don't think mine were really intense.
