You are not alone I too am not attached to my therapist in any way. I like him and trust him as much as I can trust anybody and I feel he does a great job of helping me work through my trauma but if something happened where I could not see him again I would be fine or we just find a different therapist. I also experienced a lot of trauma as a kid and I quickly learned to not attached to anybody it is very hard for me to trust anyone or form relationships.

I don't have any outside contact with my therapist I don't think he would allow it at least not him responding back but I've never asked. I just don't feel the need. I kind of wonder sometimes if he did allow it, if I would become hooked and attached as so many people here seem to be.

I would be curious to know what is the correlation between outside contact and attachment to your therapist. From what I read here it seems like sometimes therapist are not doing their clients any favors by continuing to allow all the outside contact. It seems to only perpetuate the need for more contact or more distress by not receiving the intended response. I don't know I'm just curious.
