Yes, I am also experiencing this. T3 has told me from the beginning that she doesn't do the dependent client thing, that she will work with me unless something changes and something just might change (like her moving). And yet she has the skills and training to provide me with a safe way to deal with my attachment issues (diagnosed personality disorders) and dissociative disorder. And I continue to be freed up of stuff, including treatment resistant depression which I had been seeing other ts for for years. I'm still suffering from disordered attachment to t1 (and still seeing him). Even that has improved.
I would recommend t3 and her blank slate unattached style to any traumatized person over t1.
