Yes, I think so too. I don't understand the negative connotations around this. And if the T offers you real attunement and mirroring, perhaps greater than what you experienced as a child, then I can say from experience this can have a major impact.
And if one does form an attachment with T, even if it borders on dependence, it is not as if you did something wrong. The process can induce this, if you the sort of history that makes it possible. And it can be dangerous, but i would imagine if handled properly could also be reparative.
I would also say be wary of deferring too much to a T's "diagnosis" or labels or assertions about what is wrong or right with you. There is little science or solid evidence behind any of this. Trust your own insights and gut feelings. Just my opinions...
