I don't see what's alternative about pointing out that therapy attachment keeps the client separate from the alleged attachment figure 99% of the time, and this is much closer to abandonment than attachment. Of course it is.

And this arrangment accounts for much of the pain and suffering. Of course it does.

Or that UPR is similar (not the same as) to love bombing. Of course it is.

To me these are self-evident realities that ought to be noted explicitly. All the rationalizations (eg early life stuff sensitizes one to abandonment) are separate dicussions and distract attention away from basic realities. Seems certain things are never dealt with head on. Always a red herring appears.
