But Rainbow, when kids feel emotionally safe with their parents they will ask for what they need because they will expect to have their needs met. The fact that you didn't ask seems like a good indication that you didn't feel as safe as you think you felt.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
