Mine would say not only OK but absolutely necessary to do deep work. In order to feel safe enough to explore the scary corners of your brain, you need to trust that someone will guide you in and out.
He would also say that if it is happening, it needs to be talked about. He, btw, prefers the word attachment to dependency. They are often linked and confused but are not the same thing. He doesn't think dependency in and of itself is bad either. But not all therapists think like he does.
It can be confusing and painful though. Even after 2 years, I struggle with this concept.
