Attachment seems like a loaded word as it's used on PC. I certainly had a healthy attachment to my former T, as well as paternal transference. But it wasn't the sort of attachment I read about here so often; it wasn't tortured, or obsessive, it didn't make me feel hurt.

I think I have a similarly healthy, but more casual attachment to current T: positive, but no transference. I wouldn't expect transference because I worked through those feelings with former T, so those needs were met.

I think you can have attachment without transference, but I'm not so sure you can have transference without attachment.

I think about sessions mostly for what they tell me about me. I don't generally plan ahead, but there are topics that carry over.
