I believe I shall actively seek to bond "to" current T the next time around by discussing the whys, wherefores and implications of --

boning -- "to" vs. "with" vs. just boning -- the therapist,

and whether or not (nothing is a given in this world of ours, unfortunately), it leads to --

bonding -- "to" vs. "with" vs. (unfortunately it doesn't lend itself to a pared-down sentence structure the way boning does) -- the therapist.

Stay tuned for the results (both for the boning vs. bonding vs. boning-bonding discussion as well as any potential bonding [vs. boning] ensuing from it).
