It seems like attachment here is often spoken of as a bad thing or unhealthy thing, but there is such thing as healthy, secure attachment.
My interactions with my therapists were that of healthy and secure attachment. I could rely on them for support when needed, but I didn't have what is talked about often here -- either longing for more from the relationship or fearing the loss of the relationship. I was able to depend on them when I needed their support, but I wasn't overly-dependent on them.
Attachment can be healthy.
