I recognize that I have huge attachment difficulties and from these grow a need to know where my therapist is and to have him be predictable. He is OK with this and has explained that he thinks it comes from not ever feeling held in my mother's mind and not being able to count on her presence. It drives my need for frequent sessions as well, as I can't sustain him internally very well. I'm much better at that than I used to be, however. :)
I hope your discussion with your therapist is productive. One of the things I struggle with is the difference between a need and want. What if I think I NEED therapy but the reality is I really only WANT it?
