I am attached to my T.
I have gone though very intense erotic transference, and now I 'just' feel attached, but balanced. It has been very informative, helpful and healing to go through that process, but I didn't choose it, and couldn't control it. My T has always been boundaried and containing.

I don't think about the ramifications for my T, why would I? It doesn't have an impact on her other that I'm just one more obsessed client , and she always handles it ethically.

In response to the queries about whether this 'data' should be collected, I think most Ts are aware already that a large number of clients get obsessed/attached. It is, for some clients, and in some modalities of therapy, an important and necessary part of the work. Hopefully, to have a different experience of that attachment or relationship. It doesn't always work, but it's healing when it does.
Thanks for this!
