So I don't think there's anything special about attachment with a therapist, nor do I think it is possible to work through it, as in, it ends. It's possible to manage it, sure.

I agree. I don't think attachment is good or bad. I think it just is. I do, however, believe there are ways to lessen the attachment: distancing, less touch, less out of session contact. But from what I have experienced, you can still get attached to even a distant person.
