Maybe you never really got to the point where you were able to tell her stuff that was really private to you. Sometimes it is fairly hard to think of anything to say. Othertimes I find myself thinking of stuff that I think I could never bring myself to say. But if you can bring yourself to say it and they respond appropriately, well, then I guess that is what makes me feel attached more than anything.
Maybe it was about that.
It could have been a lot of things.A p-doc was looking at diagnosing me with schizo-affective. I have a mood disorder (well, emotionally unstable kinda mood disorder really) - everyone agrees, but the episodes of psychosis (well 'episodes' - I continually hear voices) and social withdrawal didn't really fit in with my dx of Borderline Personality Disorder.
I have felt the same way as you about therapists before. But then I have also gotten pretty attached. Sometimes it can depend on the therapist client fit.
