I've been seeing my T for almost 6 years now. I do feel attached to him but in a different way from the start.

There was a point when I first started seeing him when everything got messy, I remember crying to him on the phone that he wouldn't want to see me anymore because I was too needy and attached to him. He said that wasnt the case, and that being attached to him or any safe care giver was a good thing, otherwise they can't help us.

I think that it turns into a more relaxed attachment after while, where you feel more secure and you don't need to be in constant contact to feel close to them.
