Attachment to T:

Idealizing him

Wishing he were a part of my family

Accepting the fact that the timer is NOT going away, DING.
And still going back.

Never missing a session. Ding.

Being absolutely devastated when he says that he is not attached to me and never will be.

Being devastated when he gets angry at me and tells me so.

Being devastated when he takes back the hippo. Ding.

Lessens the chance of termination to zero, which helps one get better(hopefully).

As the therapeutic relationships grows and changes, the attachment is supposed to lessen, although I don't believe it.
It can't be true.

Totally enjoying your 50 minutes.

Totally despising when your 50 minutes is up. Ding.

Asking more and more questions as you leave in order to extend the 50 minutes. Or, acting like you're looking in your purse for something for a few minutes before you get up and leave. Double Ding.

Relying on your T for his acceptance, empathy, and heavily depending on his advice.

Feeling desperate and needy and being at the mercy of your T.

Including quotes from your T in your signature line.
