I never used the term healthy attachment in my oringal post, but yes those are the types of attachment i mean, the bad/awful ones that make me wanna run away at the idea of them

You may not have used it, but the people responding did, to show that there is more than one kind of attachment and the entire concept doesn't have to be scary. Most therapeutic relationships do not result in that kind of attachment, it seems, or, even if a healthy attachment causes pain, it can be resolved.
It's like dating. There are relationships that will be total and complete duds and painful breakups. But experiencing them is part of finding the good relationships.
