Yes, I have done this with T quite a bit.
I didn't really realize what it was until you posted this, SAWE, so thank you. I think what you read is right on.

It is difficult for me sometimes to look at T for so long... I feel scared and vulnerable. But it can also be very soothing just knowing that she is there to take care of me and hold me (not physically) and my feelings.
Sometimes though I ask her to look away.. like if I move from sitting on the couch to sitting on the floor. But I make quite a bit of eye contact with her when I want to feel connected... or if I already am feeling connected or scared or missing her...

She will never look away until I do first which is nice because I don't feel like she is getting bored of me. She is still there.

Lots of feelings coming up for me just typing this. Big scary feelings that I feel too little to deal with.. I miss T.

Thank you for posting this thread.
