If you think about it from a developmental perspective, kids often need to have their needs met before those particular needs can be extinguished. Among my group of parenting friends, we often remind ourselves of this when kids seem to need to be held often, or to sleep in our beds, or to nurse longer than some people in society think is acceptable, etc. We often reassure ourselves that our kids will probably not need us to go to college with them to sleep with them or hold them when they need reassurance.

So we often say that the fastest way to "get rid of" a behavior that is making us crazy is to meet the kid's needs for that. And it actually works-- so we hold our kids, nurse them, allow them to sleep with us. And pretty soon they don't need to do that anymore.

Now that my youngest is 10, I look back and I am not sorry that he nursed well into toddlerhood, that he regularly appeared in our bed until he was about 8, and that we tried to hold him as often as he wanted to. He's a super independent, responsible, and mature kid. I ignored all those people (most of them family) who were sure that all the "babying" we did was going to turn him into a giant brat. The kids I know who are the brattiest and the whiniest are those whose parents basically tell them in many little ways to grow up and stop being a kid with normal needs.

All this as a prelude to say that having a lot of contact with your T is a normal need for you, and it would make sense to me that you are feeling like you no longer need it. It would also make sense to me if you go thru one or more periods where you feel like you need it again, only to pretty quickly decide that you are done with it.

I think that it's great, both that your T could do this for you and that it seems to have "worked" to meet your needs.
