Not that I need to be some codependent clinging thing, I just need to know what it feels like to feel securely attached, to feel that way. How can I get rid of insecurity without expericing security? How can you feel secure when there's all this mystery around what's real and what's your therapist just blowing smoke at you to make you feel better. That's my gut feeling at least.
When you're inherently insecure, for whatever the reason, can you feel secure, no matter what? If you've been traumatized (talking PTSD), you may feel constantly threatened in any interaction and that can lead to constant insecurity. Think about those last two sentences you wrote, really think about them.
