Yes, I think most clients do, when you factor in that most clients see their therapists twelve to sixteen sessions and don't have time to let their guard down and get attached.
But I think those of us with unhealthy attachment styles tend to become attached a lot more intensely and less securely. Which makes sense, since that's probably one of our core issues underlying a lot of problems in our lives.
Not that I'm saying you're one of those. I am. But you've always struck me as someone who has the ability to attach appropriately. Not that I want to jump to conclusions. I know that a lot of people are able to present a very good front.
