Looney,
I am so very attached. I think it has to have something to do with my readiness to work on my attachment issues (as well as other related issues like desire, love, boundaries, self-esteem). It's like the timing is right and my T and I just click. However, I also think it has a tremendous amount to do with her and what she facilitates.I have never spent so much time with anyone who can listen like she can - and who hears and sees me like she does. She has a remarkable ability to remember just about everything I tell her. She listens to my language and belief systems and immediately incorporates them into the way she talks to me (making me feel "special" and important to her). She is supportive, empathetic, and loving without directly saying too much about her caring for me. Instead I think she tries to show it with her verbal actions. She is consistent. She is present without taking over or talking too much. She pushes me without pushing me too much. She seems ever-patient and calm.
I just love being around her because it makes me feel so good. That feels a little selfish sometimes just to take it all in and have it all be all about me. But it is so incredibly freeing! It doesn't hurt the attachment that I find her so attractive.
Her positive voice is starting to creep in and take the place of the negative internal voices. Each week I just can't wait to see her...
