This is not as bad as some, but I wish that therapists didn't use techniques to help us to "attach" to them, and then when we are "attached", start pulling away and trying to get us to stand on our own two feet. There must be a better way to do this! I find it very frustrating, once I am securely attached, to then see the sessions spread out more (I know in my case it's part of the therapy to promote independence), and whatever other techniques they use, leading up to termination. I jthink that they need to understand from the client's point of view, how hard it is when we are attached, to then "unattach". This has to be done very carefully. They have a lot of clients, but we only have one "them".
Thanks for this!
