What helps me is to talk about it. With previous Ts, them allowing me to be attached and depend on them slowly led to me becoming more independent. My newest one is working out to be the same. I talk to her about wanting a connection between sessions, about being worried she's going to move/leave/stop being a T, and other things like that. It's super embarrassing for me, but she's great about it. Also, looking back at the Ts I've had, the two I was most attached to were the ones that helped me the most and so far this one is following that trajectory.

So I guess, really I just accept the dependency rather than mitigate it. I know with time it will lessen and my T has given me coping skills to manage my feelings around it, but also totally accepts me without judgment.
