So I just started psychotherapy and I *love* my new T. She is amazing, and we are forming a deep, trusting relationship. The only problem is that I've only had 2 sessions and I'm already getting attached to her. Was trying to schedule an appointment for next week, but there wasn't very many days/times she was available that would work with my schedule (just started a new job as well). When my dad said that I couldn't go to see my T next week because of scheduling conflicts, I broke down in my room and started to cry, which is a huge deal since it's been around a year since I last cried... Thankfully, my dad changed his mind and said that we can work around the schedule so I can now go to see my T next week. I am so relieved!

Not sure why I made this thread, just wanted to get all this out there. And I suppose ask anyone else if you have ever felt too attached to your T?

MercilessShadow, I can see how much you like your T and it made you sad when you thought couldn't see her! But glad it worked out OK! She sounds wonderful and it's great that you already feel connected to her after 2 sessions. This is really nice, being able to feel understood and supported early in your therapy relationship. Starting a new job can be hard so it's good you have extra support too. I'm happy for you and hope you continue to build a warm relationship with your T.

Some people attach quickly, some slowly, some never.

It can be scary to attach quickly - it's like falling in love.
But if it works out, being attached can be a great pleasure.

Thanks for the quick responses! I'm going to tell my T about how attached I am to her and see if it helps... I mentioned it last session but I didn't realize I was this attached to her.
