Yes, that's very understandable. You don't need to give anything up. You're right to stick with it and tell her how you feel. It does change but, to be honest, I don't think that feeling the need for the attachment ever goes completely. I don't think it matters. You could compare it to the attachment to a parent. It changes once you become an adult, but you don't (usually!) cut yourself off from a parent. I keep in touch with my T from time to time over the phone (she is too far away for me to see in person now). It's very occasional now and that fulfills my need to keep a relationship that was and still is very important to me.
Take carex
