WePow, I'm going to look for that book. Thank you for suggesting it.

Your NEEDs about these things are real. There is something that is missing that you feel. Your T is trained and sounds like a wonderful fit! T is showing you how to feel what is missing and showing you what it feels like to have that need met. After you know what that feels like, T will show you how you meet that need yourself.
That sounds like what the plan is. I still don't trust it completely. I don't know why.

Pachy, you're right. That's the flip-side.

Brightheart: Thank you for being here for me. You asked a good question. I wish I knew the answer. Maybe I don't feel like I deserve to get my needs met. Also, when I do, I feel out-of-control because I can't regulate the feelings. (Now that IS a BPD trait) It feels immature to get those childish needs met NOW. I get all stirred up and confused about the good feelings.
Thanks for this!
