I have been attached to every t I've seen but in different ways as obviously each t is different and so the relationship is different. What t brings out in me is different. But overall I think with each t I've been trying to meet a need that wasn't met in my childhood as my parents and family were emotionally unavailable to me. The intimacy and intensity of the therapeutic relationship taps into that and I start obsessing about the t and wanting to be near them all the time. I also get very jealous of other clients and people in t's life. I have noticed myself becoming more securely attached over time and especially with current t, who is incredibly safe and boundaried, but I still struggle with wanting to be close to her and feeling jealous, so it's a work in process. I believe that eventually I won't feel so empty inside and I will feel safer inside myself.
