Based on my recent experience, I concur that some Ts are not equipped to go the distance with clients with strong needs. I became horrifyingly needy and developed intense and ferocious infatuation for my T. I let her know all of this, in no uncertain terms. It was risky to be so vulnerable and to trust fully. My T did end up bailing. I think she realized she was in over head, had led me to a precarious place, then wanted to run.
Now I don't know how in hell I will ever allow myself to get that attached to a T, which is potentially tragic, cuz it may in fact be in what I need to heal.
