Reply to "Attachment in therapy - questions and fears"

Hi Lamplighter, hi you all!

I'm glad to read of positive attachment experiences right now. Just when I felt I could trust my T he's basically left me alone for 6 weeks in the midst of a crisis. And I'm trying hard to not let that go into the 'see, that's what happens so don't do that ever again!' kinda groove. But I am not doing very well.

I agree with you, STRM, the attachment is very real, and this makes anything that goes wrong so hard to deal with as it reinforces messages drummed into you. Ot should I say 'beaten'

What you describe, More Than Fine, is hugely important I think: The willingness of your t to be there with you and learn as well. Mine is very experienced but taking it too lightly the cocky bxxxxx. That hurts! So I might have to go looking for a new one too. Oh the disappointment! Will I ever mean anything to anybody???
