I'm not sure people are wired for caring that is turned on and off, based on arbitrary blocks of time. I found it extremely disruptive. The main thing this taught me was how to cope with the process itself, which was designed around therapist needs.
I think therapy "attachment" is actually a therapist-centered phenomenon, wherein therapists can have a series of regimented relationships entirely on their terms.
I found nothing helpful about having needs exposed, then objectified rather than gratified. If i found myself longing for this or that, but "boundaries" said i ought not to be, then already the process had become destructive.
