I think if you quit and restart therapy over and over, miss sessions when it's not part of your plan for yourself (i.e. because she didn't respond to your email or text or something), then maybe there's some insecure attachment at work. But I read a lot of your threads and I don't see how you are not securely attached, both in the warm feelings you have for your T and in your reliable showing up to therapy.

I don't get it.
More later, but T TOLD me yesterday that I don't have a secure attachment with her, but I'm getting there. I will have to ask her about it again. I felt bad when she said it yesterday but I know she is probably right.
