I’m in Canada. I’m finding that I can only make $5 per day before the surveys run out.

Is this the same experience for others?

I was very attached to my old therapist and after a big rupture, I transitioned to a new therapist who specialized in grief and loss and she helped me process the loss.

However, she is not specifically trained in attachment or IFS. Processing grief and loss went well with her - she’s very ethical and gives good insight. However it felt more surface level and I tried not to get attached to her.

3 month in, and I feel as though I am very attached to her. I get thoughts that I will experience another rupture and therapy will end bluntly with her even though she’s given me reassurance.

I am going to bring this up next session and tell her that I feel attached to her and it’s bringing me negative feelings due to my past. I’m a bit nervous.

I have been going to weekly therapy almost 2 years straight. I was very attached and dependant on my therapist.

I realized that whenever I had a really difficult situation, or I make a risky business decision, or something very stressful happens, I wanted to talk to my therapist and receive validation. I would feel lonely if I couldn’t see her.

BUT after working with my NEW therapist (for about 3 months) I noticed that I feel like I miss her and I want validation -BUT I also feel like I’m starting to trust myself and I can wait 2 or 3 weeks if needed. I’m currently waiting to get paid so I won’t see her for 3 weeks. However I feel more self reliant and empowered. I’m still attached to her, but the relationship feels extremely secure - I know she’ll still be there in 3 weeks - and in the meantime I will mange just fine 👍
