I think attachment can be a good thing. If I hadn't felt attached to my T, I'm not sure how things would have turned out for me when times were more difficult.

But it can be double edged and painful too.

I can see the T relationship more clearly, objectively now I am doing better and am better at dealing with the thoughts of ending.

It may always be sad when important people in our life who have been very important to us, are no longer there, due to moving, death etc.. I think ending of my T will be the same. But maybe it is about being able to deal with the loss in a healthy way, that shows therapy has been successful. I wouldn't want to end and quickly move on not giving T a second thought, yes it would be less painful, but although I will feel sad, it shows I have the ability to feel, appreciate the importance of someone to me.
