Omg I'm so embarrassed. I sent my daily email to T today, and I told him that...

"The little kid in me honestly wants to give you a huge hug, because I've missed you SO much."

Is that attachment issues? Or am I just an idiot? (he doesn't allow hugs anyway)

I don't know if it's an attachment 'issue', but it does indicate he's important to you! I can relate to this - sometimes I feel like I want to give my T a big hug. I'm not sure if she would allow it either, or how appropriate it would be.. And I'm not sure if it's coming from my 'inner child' or my 'adult'.. maybe both

Your T might not accept hugs, but I'm sure he'll appreciate your sentiment.
Thanks for this!

i've been feeling that way lately. (but I'm not brave enough to tell her)

I have felt that way about several therapists I've had. I'm currently very very attached to my voice movement therapist. I don't consider it an "issue" I'm grateful and so happy that we have such a close relationship, that she can hold the intensity of my feelings for her and isn't afraid.
It's too bad your therapist doesn't let you give hugs. All mine have.
Just my oppinion, but I don't consider it a bad thing at all.
Thanks for this!

It may be attachment, but I don't think that's bad. You need someone to hang on to.

Exactly. Telling a person how you feel is always appropriate! But like anything else, acting on it is not necessarily. Anything about you is 100% yours to share or not share (how you feel) but your actions, when they involve another, have to be with the consent of the other.
