<<(I started young, and have seen one T or other most of my life, so maybe I"m too weird to rely on)>>
You definitely arent weird...or maybe I am weird with you. My first T was in middle school and I have had 4 since then. I am in my 20's. I never opened to any of them but the current one though.
>> But it's also something about me-- my need for acceptance, my sense of being deprived (or having lacked) much love, or excitement about myself, or engagement with, emotional attunedness to myself, from my parents. When I come into contact with people who remind me of that-- who stimulate that feeling-- it pains me. I begin to relive some of those old, very bad feelings.<<I agree. I have often felt, in a sort of illogical way i guess, that my T is capable of filling all these little holes where I feel I was deprived. Then of course when I remember she cant really do that I get mad at her. This might explain some of the anger I feel.
