Daisy, I haven't had a chance to respond to your posts, but you brought up a range of important attachment behaviors besides gaze-a soft voice, gentle touch, and a familiar smell! (that really is very powerful- I agree. I do wish I remembered my mother's perfume- especially her "going out" perfume, as you do). It sounds as though you may have worked with blind babies and seen how they use their senses to attach- that was fascinating.
I don't know, but I wonder whether all of these could be considered right hemisphere attachment behaviors. They weren't covered in Shore's books, so I'll need to continue my researches!
But, anyway, thanks for your posts. You've got an especially great therapist, from everything you have posted about him. With him, it sounds like you can have one of those
intense, meaningful and life-altering experiences which you will always remember.Pfinstegg
