I don't usually feel like I want to be rescued..at least not directly. However I do often feel like things I want others to do for me are childish or flat out wrong- against my self reliance ideal. Lately instead of just calling myself stupid for thinking or wanting these things, I've started to look into them to see if they are telling me something about what I need to do for myself.

Maybe you could look at what it is you seem to want your T to do and then see if you can explore ways to rescue yourself. I'm not suggesting that you hug yourself of stuff like that, but maybe you can listen to what you need/want and then find an alternative way to get it.

A few days ago I was feeling really down and wanted to talk to someone about the noise running in my head. My T was the first person I thought of, but instead I called a friend who was facing some difficult of her own. Although I didn't talk about my stuff, I was able to forget it for a while and be there for someone else. I think what I really need was to just connect with someone..not necessarily discuss my crap.

It doesn't always work but I get lucky sometimes. :-)
