I can't remember who said it first but knowing my T I probably admitted it. I read a letter to her that I had told a friend she probably doesn't want me attached to her. In that letter I said there I go assuming you wouldn't want me or something like that. Several sessions later she asked how I felt at the end of the session and I said sad. I said I'm not sure why. Oh yeah, I don't want to leave. I said stupid attachment. She smiled and repeated it.

Another time she said attachment in relationships can be hard. So we haven't had an in depth talk about it but she knows I have maternal transference so I guess it's assumed anyway.

I think the attachment or lack of tells a T a lot. What you DO with it might change the relationship. I don't try to contact my T all the time but perhaps certain behaviors would worry them. I've told her I think about her a lot, wonder about her and her family and that kind of thing. I think the only problem would be crossing boundaries.
Thanks for this!
