I went to therapy without any concrete issues. I realised that there is something wrong with me so that I don't connect to people at all for some reason. But as I had never had the experience of connecting to people I did not even know what is it that I had been missing out. It first took me several years to even get a descent understanding what my problems are.
I personally don't go to therapy because I'm attached to my therapist. I go because I'm certain that I need to. I want to reach a point where I am able to choose whether I want to connect/relate to people or not. Currently I still don't have this choice. For me, when I think about my therapy sessions/experience I get the image like we are constantly wrestling with something to gain more mental/emotional freedom for me. Often it means that my T has to wrestle with me too. It is hard work.
