Again, thanks everyone for the hugs!!! Brightheart, thank you. I'll try. It's a young part and also the young adult who lost her mother. It is around the anniversay of my Mom's death so I "wrote her another letter" today. I did that last year too. I will read it to my T on Tuesday.

My Mom died when I was 34. I wasn't young, and I just went on with my life except for starting therapy. I didn't talk about her in therapy for 4 months until I casually mentioned that she had died. My T was sort of in shock and wondered aloud if that's why I was depressed. I didn't want to go there, though.

The child wants Mommy. I know that. But I want my T too. I understand transference, but it seems like I want my T. I'm so confused by it all.
