That's a good question and I'm not sure any of us will be able to completely answer that for you. I would be curious to hear what your T thinks that means. I'm assuming he means to not fight it and just let it happen. I get attached too and being aware of it is obviously a good thing but it can be challenging as well because we don't want it to be there but it is anyway. Being attached to our therapists can help us heal the wounds that cause us to get attached in the first place. They are (generally) reliable people to get attached to, although there are always stories of T's who aren't and hurt their clients.

I guess I'm thinking that he doesn't want you to fight your feelings or try to get rid of the attachment. Let it happen and hopefully in time, it will fade. At least that's my hope with my T...
