I think you work through the thoughts. Typically the idea of breastfeeding is due to wanting to feel safe, secure, close, and nurtured. Being able to talk about that outloud is very powerful.

My T responded wonderfully. I adore her. She validated and normalized the want. Of course I wanted that. Of course I wanted to be nurtured. Of course I wanted to be taken care of.

I approached the topic cautiously of course. I talked about having confusing thoughts and needs. About feeling small. About needing so much from her. And than I just put it out there. And she responded warmly. I'm so glad I did.
