I don't even remember walking to my car. I feel like he kicked me out of session. I've been on the verge of tears for the remainder of the day. If attachment is going to make this more intense, I don't know if I can handle it or even if our therapy is at a point where it should deepen. I definitely feel like more foundation work needs to be done after today.

Wow sorry, sounds brutal. I wonder why he did that?
One thing I see often missing from discussions like this is -- to what extent is attachment or dependency feeding the therapist's needs and in what way is that influencing the process? It's supposed to be all about the client, but if you read widely on the subject, there are a million accounts of therapists clearly being driven by their own needs and impulses. I can say with relative certainty that my ex-T was attached to me in some way.
