That was a nice reminder. I ended up sending my T a text message in appreciation of the conversation. After more reflection, I think the feelings were related to Ts in the past being my 'partner' in strengthening the wall around childhood emotions...so I guess it was a fear we'd go there too. Everything seems to trace back to a fear. But it likely was an irrational fear, as he's the only T who I've had who works on integrating my emotions rather than walling them off.
I agree with you about the relationship, but at the same time, I started to get sad thinking that no adult has ever treated me the way he does...it made me think of what I never had and what I'll possibly never have again in my lifetime.
