He is good; I think I'm at an earlier stage of therapy, by far, than you. For now, I can only sustain the attachment securely for brief periods. Working on that, as well as the abuse and abandonment issues, is what we are doing all the time. But it is wonderful to have someone to do that with.
Don't you think you have accomplished a lot of that by all the hard work of earlier years? From what you have been posting, you are turning outwards towards the world now, and he is making sure that you know he is not going to abandon or terminate you just because you have gotten better. He seems to be saying that he's always going to be there - you'll probably still be going to him when you are completely well! And why not? That's what I plan on doing.
