Really glad that you have found a T that you might connect with, that's a really positive step and a great big pat on the back to you for perserverance too!!

The attachment thing is hard - I think there needs to be a certain amount for trust to occur between the two parties and a committment to the therapy, but personally I think I work better not being too attached, that way I can't be hurt if it goes wrong. But I don't think I could ever carry on with T if I hated my T.....I have told her things that seem to have come from the bottom of my soul and cetainly wouldn't do that if I didn't really like her and trust her very much with that information. I would need to know that she cared enough in return for me, to ever impart that information in the first place too. Divulging for me is like handing a little piece of myself over, I couldn't do that to anybody I didn't like - no matter how good they were!
