I think I might have a secure attachment to current T now. At first I felt incredibly dependent on her and like the time between sessions was unbearable. But now, I feel like I know she’s going to be there for me if and when I need her, even between sessions, and I know that she cares about me and is willing to do what she needs to in order to help me. I feel safe with her. I don’t worry about being emotionally vulnerable with her as much as I used to. Overall, honestly, the best thing I can say to describe it is that I 100% wholeheartedly trust her. I think that trust is key.

As for how long, I’ve only been seeing her for about 7 months. But, I’ve been in therapy for about 3 years total now. I’ve had some very good Ts and some very bad Ts in that time, but this is the first one that I think I might have a true secure attachment to.
