That's such a warm image. It sounds as though, occasionally, different *parts* do come up in your therapy and life. My analyst is very much like yours- he considers mental events like that as signs of more cohesion and health, rather than the opposite. And mine, like yours, emphasizes the comforting aspects of dealing with the parts- both the adult me comforting the child, and him comforting her. It's not the only thing that happens in analysis, either- it's interwoven with so many thoughts, memories and feelings from every stage of my life, which seem to be pouring out faster and faster, as my inhibitions and defenses decrease.
Are you really thinking of termination so soon? You've only been going about a year, haven't you?
