Interesting question, I'm not sure I would know how to differentiate. I think I am somewhat attached to my T. I do think about him and the process a lot during the week and depending on what's going on in my life I can't wait to get there. But I don't really want him to be anything other than my therapist although I think we could be good friends. But especially from reading here I know it's a lot harder to find a good T, so I'm ok with the way it is.
Do I want him to care about me and think about me? Yes, and I also wish I could take to him more, but frankly if he thought about me as much as I think about him, I would probably be really creeped out.
So am I attached? Or do I just like him? Or I am attached cause I like him and we get along well? Does it mean I'm too attached if I feel like I still need him?
