Any attachment to anyone involves pain. I have learned this the hard way. Its more unique with my therapist because even though my attachment to her causes me a lot of pain, when I have my sessions and I look at her and hear her voice or her laugh at something it feels like its worth it. I am so blessed to know such an incredible person that has helped me so much that the pain is part of the package. I would rather hurt than to have never met or known her.
