ElectricManatee,

Although my t took attachment-based training recently, she has always approached therapy by focusing on relational and developmental needs aspects. We've also talked about attachment at different times, and she admits it is important in the therapy relationship. So I don't think the training was a completely new idea/approach for her...I'm guessing it just went into more depth or perhaps emphasized the importance more than she may have realized. Maybe the biggest issue is that she just despises email. She has told me I can call in the event of a crises, but I find that hard to do. To me, it seems intrusive. I'm afraid of trying it also, for fear of finding out that she is not any better at providing phone support either. We've had a rupture around the issue of need-support for so long, I've become pretty resistant to the idea of asking for outside support at all from now on.
