Very similar to what you described. I wasn't adopted, as many with such issues are, but instead had a mother that was emotionally unavailable. In working with a wonderful therapist, I have come to realize a thread of female relationships that were little more than a lifelong search for a maternal figure.
As for the "therapist permanance" thing, I completely understand. It took 8 months for me to get to the point I could keep her with me from session to session without some type of contact in between. My trust in her has become more solid but is still fragile and easily threatened.
