Interesting that you brought up attachment issues. Somewhere along the way, attachment issues caught my attention. I don't think I was in therapy at the time to further explore it, so I guess I put it on the "back burner" and had forgotten all about it.

I do think you touched on something that may be helpful. I will do a search online on the book you suggested and see what info I can find online about attachment issues/problems..This may very well be the key or part of the puzzle.

hmm I don't think I always thought there was something wrong with me. Wasn't until therapy and the T branded me sort of "handicapped". Told me therapy could be a crutch to help me. Only problem was he left me still holding onto a crutch and feeling as though I had be ill since childhood. I did fine until I fell apart around late 30's or early 40's.. anyway.. goal is to be rid of that darn crutch..

Thank you so much for your insight and suggestions. Looks like I have a lot of "homework" to do..
