learning: I think it IS happening to me already, where I'm at least holding on to the good feelings I am experiencing with my T, and starting to try feeling them in RL. I've asked my H and friends for hugs; I never used to do that. I'm trying to get some of my needs met in RL. I know it's never going to be as good as it is with my T, but I feel like I'm internalizing her caring. At least after this session, I have this warm feeling inside of me, and it's not making me feel needy, just good. Of course, if someone told me I'd have to quit therapy today, or if something happened to my T, I'd be very very sad. But the feelings inside of me won't ever go away. She's given me so much in just over a year; it's making me cry again.
