Definitely a good point, antigua.
Abandonment fears would be activated by a therapist encouraging one to fly. I totally overlooked that because my therapist and I have worked that out, so I can feel free to try my wings without fearing I'll be pushed out of the nest. He's totally ok with me flying however far and wide I wish, and I know the nest is always there for me afterwards. To nestle if I need to, or to share the voyages. Either way, he'll be there. He'll always be delighted to make space for me in the nest.
If he didn't make that clear, I'd firmly refuse to be budged an inch.
