Yes, I am actively seeking a bond with my therapist.
My relationship with him is as much a part of the therapy that I'm doing as the things we talk about. Part of my therapy is experiential - experiencing a safe, stable connection with someone who does not abandon me when I am in need. Having that safe person be there for me as I crack open the traumas from my past, which plunges me back into the experiences as if they are happening again -- I just can't help it -- that's what happens when I think of them at all.
