I just wish i had a more nurturing environment naturally.

I hear you and that is something that takes a lot of courage to create in your own life.

But it is doable.

I think as you move closer to your authentic self in therapy, it becomes much easier to be your authentic self "free range" of out in the "real world".

Besides, it's so hard to keep all those defenses up. It's no wonder so many of us are depressed, we spend so much energy to keep those emotional defenses up.
