Peg,
I think we have very similarly trained therapists. Last week I was in tears about wanting the people close to me so see my pain and to care about me. I was talking specifically about my husband and my mother and I was very much in little kid mode. My Therapist said, "I see your pain and I care about you..." I sort of wailed that I needed to be cared for more than 3 hours per week and that led to a whole discussion of internalizing your therapist. I guess this is similar in someways to finding an internal mother.
