Have now been seeing a Clinical Psychologist since June and don't feel attached to her at all (even though she says that attachment to the therapist is a necessary part of the therapy I'm doing). I would say I don't really feel anything. She's nice enough and seems to know her stuff, but it wouldn't bother me if I never saw her again.
Am wondering if I've deliberately put up a barrier against becoming attached because it's just too painful.

Sorry all this happen to you. I'm sure that was painful when you finally trust someone and they leave. It may be a natural part of counseling but it's almost cruel.
Makes you wonder if these barriers we set up for protection will actually hurt our progress in therapy though. Ya know?
