Maybe someone can explain to me the goal behind going to therapy for transference and attachment issues in LT's case. I came from a background of extreme trauma and neglect and would prefer to be left alone than attached to anyone so it is very confusing to my psyche.

From my observations, LT went to Dr. T to help her get over her attachment and feelings for ex-MC. Now the attachment continues and looks like it make repeat all over again. The two examples given seem to be an old teacher and ex-MC, now Dr. T. She meets him 3x a week which I can't say is appropriate or not for this situation. Wouldn't it be more productive to stop therapy altogether or maybe see a female instead? Yes, it may be hard at first just like stopping smoking but wouldn't it eliminate the source of the attachment pain?

Attachment aside, I do have to admit LT that I agree with less popular view that this does seem to be part of the pattern of pushing him until agrees to see something your way similar to the stone, standing, using the term transference, etc. To me, that would be the root cause to work on. Discovering the reasons behind your need for validation of your thoughts/wants on any particular issue and finding skills to help develop the ability to accept the other person's opinions and boundaries when it occurs. Finding ways to allow people to have their own agency without feeling the need to "script" the ending to suit your desired outcome and to accept differences in opinion without the need to keep pushing back until they agree to change. Or maybe this is just a pattern with therapists, in which case I revert back to my original question of wouldn't it be easier to stop therapy altogether?
