Isn't it amazing that even if you don't know why you need, you know you just do. And it is good that you can tell her.
I've learned to think of my need for my therapist as insurance of containment. I feel him wrapping around me to help me contain the overflowing emotions and/or the worsing depression. I asked him today if it was OK that I was coming to therapy to "just" meet my attachment needs right now. He sort of grinned at me and said, "yes" but he thought there was so much more going on than "just" that.
But he seemed somehow pleased that I *would* just come to meet this need...said it is a big step for me.
Feels like a step backwards to me.
