I am attached in the sense that I enjoy our interactions and like who she is as a person. I believe that the work we do together is valuable. I will miss her and the interactions we have once therapy is finished. But I don’t feel attached in the sense that I am particularly focused on the relationship with my therapist. I don’t see that as a good or a bad thing, by the way, just what is for me.
I often talk about my crap and leave, because there are things I really don’t have an outlet for anywhere else. But between I do think about our sessions. Often something t has said becomes a springboard for new ideas, or it tumbles around in my brain for a while until I sort it out.
