It's a good conversation to have in therapy.

This. All of this.
I have fought my attachment to T. I have struggled with feeling overly attached or overly dependent on T, and when we finally talked about it I felt so much relief. Occasionally I still struggle but it's helpful to know that it is something that can be openly discussed without judgement or rejection.
