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?]
