Daisy, that's a great idea - a deep breath when you look at the clock. I will now try to do the same.
When I was going through a very deep attachment, Mommy type, with my T, I got a very sweet Piglet, so soft and ever so cute, and I carried him around with me. He sat in my handbag, and people could see him, and they were so nice! That I had this little guy with me seemed to soften people, they smiled at me, were friendlier ... it was as though Piglet were saying, hey, this is a nice person, a gentle vulnerable person you don't have to be defensive with so it's ok to be nice.
It changed everything. It was the beginning of learning that how people treat me is largely dependent on me. I know, that has nothing to do with you here and now *except* that I was treated very kindly during a time when I needed to be.
