I had an disorganized attachment style and my therapy for 18 months consisted of an attachment component. I had liberal contact by all means except text but she is a Luddite. (I used to be one myself.) One day I sent about 30 emails and she responded to 21 of them. I could see her as often as needed. In the beginning we averaged 3- sessions a week that lasted 2 1/2-3 hours each session with a one hour family session. People said it was wrong, she was a bad therapist, yada, yada, yada...they were wrong. My life has turned itself around and now I actually enjoy my life and its challenges. Previously, I woke every morning for 40 years wanting to be dead. Suicide is not even make my bucket list of a 1000 things I want to do. I'm doing things that most people do in their youth and young adult years. I do count myself lucky to have a therapist like I had. One important question for me was, "How long is this snake oil going to take?" She said 18 - 24 months. I did not believe her. But she was right, I was done in 18 months.
