Working on understanding and healing attachment in therapy can be a crucial first step in "doing something different in one's own life," particularly when it comes to relationship with others.

Of course, not everyone needs to work on such things. And that's great. But to say that those of us who do need to work on it are somehow weak and moaning, unwilling to make change, is outrageous and rather cruel in my opinion.
You would be wrong on your assumption about me. I do think therapy encourages moaning and so on - it is okay with me if you disagree -it is even okay with me if you find it useful. I didn't but I don't insist that everyone agree with me or do it my way. I also think people do things one way until they are ready to do them another way - not necessarily consciously. In the end, I was just giving my take - I don't insist I am correct about it - all I have is one tiny slice of the situation - just like everyone else here.
