I see one t who thinks that the attachments is a good and natural thing, that it provides insights into my other relationships, and that it can be healing. We talk about it when I want to.

My other t says that she is there to teach me and to work with me and to use her training to help me. She says that she makes no promises about sticking around and that getting attached to her is a sign of my dependent personality traits and that I should avoid it. I need to get healthy and get what I need from outside of her office.

Like Blanche said, it is a matter of what the t believes, and how he/she is trained.
