I think I am somewhere on the spectrum between this style and secure, depending on the level of my mental health (I have dealt with anxiety my whole life and when it's particularly bad, I often become more dismissive/avoidant with people because I feel overwhelmed) and the actual specific relationship I am in. My two therapists have been radically different in this sense. The first one was much more insecure than I think I am, and was all over the map with his communication style, involvement, sometimes very intrusive other times controlling and withdrawn - it drove me mad. I definitely don't want a T like that again. My second T, on the other hand, was always very consistent, same style, never cheesy or overly emotional and quite cerebral, but always warm, welcoming and respectful. We did not work on attachment per se, but his predictable, even temper and approach certainly had a positive effect. Worked so much better for me than the first insecure T and I do better with that style also in everyday life. If someone is like that with me, I am also much less likely to be withdrawn and tend to feel quite secure in the interactions, no major trust issues etc. I can have hard time with people that are overly preoccupied, intrusive and anxious about relationships and question me all the time, it does make me doubt their sincerity and I tend to become overwhelmed and then keep them at arm's length or just flee.
