It's not exactly my objective, but having a more secure attachment style has been a positive result of other changes I've made. I find it to be a good change that I wanted and couldn't really put into words back when I started therapy.
I don't think anyone can change anyone else's attachment style without that person wanting or doing something in order to change themselves. I really don't believe anyone can change anybody else that way. I know I've changed in the past in ways that were detrimental to me, as a result of other people's feedback and wishes, but it was my choice to do that at their request. If I now choose to be a certain way and others don't approve, I find that to be my choice just as much. If my therapist wanted me to make a change I didn't decide to make, I just wouldn't (or if for some reason I did, I wouldn't think it was just the therapist who changed me).
