No, because it's about reframing, that is to say you emotionally build up a healthy attachment ie a good parent/ adult. You will get to a point of healthy attachment with your own internal therapist. Its up to the therapist to make you feel safe and have the coping strategies for those times when T is away etc. I'm sorry this is so painful for you.
