As a few others have said, I think when you fight against something you're feeling, it can become more intense. So by just accepting the feelings, it lessens the intensity. I've had some very intense attachment to my marriage counselor (still do, to some extent), and talking about it with him and accepting that the feelings were normal helped. One of his main philosophies as a T is that you can't control your feelings--only what you do with them. So no feelings are "wrong" or "bad"--they just are. So maybe try accepting your feelings? I know, much easier said than done!
Thanks for this!
