Mona,
good for you! Wishing you all the best on this new part of your journey.
"kind and compassionate" sounds good to me.
With regard to feeling attached so soon:
With my current T there was a really strong attachment right from the start. She has lots of little figures in her office and somehow my 'inner child' felt immediately drawn to this. I found it unsettling at the time, made me feel nervous and I brought it up in session very early on - which was good.
Feeling this strong pull from a younger self was scary, and somehow I was afraid that she could "exploit" this. Talking about it was helpful, since it gave her a better understanding of what my problems are, plus she outlined further how she works and she made it very clear that nothing would happen in this room against my will.
