I've told her that I'm going to miss her when therapy is done, and she hasn't said that she will miss me too. She knows that I have transference issues with her, that I've gotten really attached to her, because I felt like I had to tell her about that. We are doing what is called Lifespan Integration Therapy, which she says will address my attachment issues, but so far I just feel like my attachment to her is getting more and more intense. At least she has reciprocated when I've asked for a hug. One time she responded by saying, "Always!" And then she opened her arms wide and we held each other for a long time. Today I didn't even have to ask for a hug. At the end of the session, after she gave me my invoice, she just knew I wanted a hug and it just happened.
