I am curious about peoples' thoughts on attachment based therapy? Did you find it was helpful, or hurtful? I like this therapist, and it is actually rather nice to go in there and just work, rather than focus on any attachment that may have developed for the therapist. I do miss that attachment at times, it just felt good. But other times, it felt pretty bad too.

I think my T would simply work with the attachment if (and when) it arose. S/he seems to take things as they come w/out too much surprise or change in tempo. I'm developing an attachment now, but haven't told T...think it will come up in our next session. Considering my issues and questionable attachments in early childhood, I think attachment to T will be necessary to get through a successful therapy process. But you asked about attachment based therapy...my T just seems to incorporate what's needed in our therapy, not stuck on a specific type of therapy.
