Well, you still haven't said anything that makes me think he isn't terrific. :)
I'm so happy that you're feeling securely attached! And it's wonderful that he noticed it! I had to hit mine over the head with a bat (metaphorically of course) to get him to notice I wasn't the same unattached client I was before.
You're working very hard at your therapy. Much harder than I am, I think. My therapist came right out and said that his treatment plan for me was twice a week supportive therapy to keep me stable and functioning. (I guess he didn't use the words "supportive therapy" but I've read enough about supportive therapy to know the code words that can mean nothing else.) I'm a bit discouraged that he really doesn't want to challenge me. But, oh well. I guess I've given him plenty of reason to feel that way.
So when you're working hard and it feels rotten, I hope you remember that your therapist is paying you the great compliment of thinking you're up to the challenge, with his assistance and support.
