That's a great image Dinah. And wow, I don't know if I could talk to my therapist about "milky breasts"- and she's a woman! Good for you, because I know it helps.
I too have the lap image. And notice it to be a "I need to be noticed, comforted place"- which is sometimes hard to know how to ask for directly. After one particularly hard session last month I said "this is one of those lap times" and T said "oh... well, I'll come over there (she is pretty loose, but safe about boundaries)" and she sat next to me on the couch, I put my arms around her and my head on her chest and she put her arms around me and stroked my shoulder and we just sat there a bit. Not quite the lap, but a pretty decent substitute.
And the womb... yes, lately my as I'm falling asleep image is often of curling up in her downy lined pouch- I guess like a kangaroo. ;)
