KG,
Sorry you are going through such turmoil right now. It sounds like you are getting something really special from your T, and of course an hour a week doesn't sound like enough. I am wondering, given what you have written and your T
's style, if she actually would be pleased to hear about how you crave her and miss her so much between sessions. It may be exactly what you were saying, like an infant crying for mother. There comes a time when the infant needs to be able to go longer and longer with needs being unmet, so that they start to be able to tolerate a multitude of feelings and to develop more self-sufficiency about emotions. Perhaps your T is trying to give you the opportunity to work through that now, as excruciating as it is???I'm just writing off the cuff here, but that is how your post guided my thinking. But I could also be way off base.
In the meantime, no substitute, I know, but the thought is real...(((KindGirl)))
