I think it's great that you did this. I think it will make it a lot easier in the future to refer to this and to talk about these issues openly.

I can tell you that I had a huge amount of attachment to my therapist, and I bit the bullet and talked about it openly, and he similarly did not flinch. Now it's a few years later and we've done a ton of work together and the nature of my attachment has changed a lot. I used to think about him all the time and would long to sleep next to him, etc. It's not like that anymore, though I remain fond of him. I think part of what made it change is that we talked about it all along and he just normalized it and was very accepting of my feelings, which made me accepting of them.

If you're anything like me the trusting will come and go and it will be a continual testing kind of process...so maybe be prepared for that, be prepared for the possibility that you guys are going to have ruptures and conflicts. For me sticking with it and working through those with the kind of honesty you just showed is what has been most productive in the whole therapy thing. It's one thing to be able to tell a therapist you kind of love them but being able to say you're really mad at them is important too, and it's important for them to act in the same kind of accepting way.
