I agree. And you can tell that there's a lot of anxiety in the attachments, because of how people freak out when their therapist is gone for a period of time. No matter how much people kid themselves that their therapy is 'good' for them, they seem to still be in a place where the absence of the therapist causes immense pain.

And people blame themselves for that, because they think it's a product of their issues. It's not. It's a product of becoming hooked on someone who can never be what they've manipulated you into thinking they can be.

You're not missing your therapist because you have attachment issues, you're missing your therapist because your therapist has damn well created an attachment issue by convincing you that you need to pay for care.

If you weren't screwed up before you went into therapy, you have a really good chance of being screwed up after.
