MC glad you're doing OK!
I don't think my T views attachment as a healthy thing. I do have set therapy hours, he gave them to me about four months after I started seeing him twice a week. He follows a psychoanalytic orientation. We go through this periods where I trust him and I try really hard to talk about my feelings, just talk in general. Then he, not me, pulls away and he reminds me that his job is to make his job obselete. It's like he is adverse to me becoming too dependent or attached to him. Which makes me very confused, given what I have read about the therapeutic allience and what I read on here. Also, it is hard for me to make sense of why he does it, because I have complex ptsd and I already have a paroblem with feelings, talking to T, trusting T, opening up, etc...I haven't asked him but I guess he doesn't do long term therapy if he is constantly reminding me how ours is a disposable relationship. I'm not sure how this helps me overcome my fear of relationships, of trusting, of intimacy, my multiple fears.....
