It's hard for me to imagine not be somewhat attached to a T.
Most T's, unless they're very dedicated to maybe behavior T, or maybe some variants of CB Therapy, would probably find some attachment to be a core feature of making the T work.
Some would call it the "therapeutic alliance"- but in essence, it's a type of collaboration that has warm or trusting feelings. Which for me would involve some attachment.
It depends on what you mean--but what you seem to be saying, sounds like a good, very frequent, or even necessary thing, and not something your T would in any way not want.
It's scary and even unsettling (esp. at times)-- but basically a very good thing.
