Right now you have an inner child who is young (emotionally you didn't get what you needed so you didn't develop emotionally). This part of you needs to develop and mature and this will happen with the help of your T and your hard work. The end result is an inner child who is the age of your physical body. Adults don't need to be parented so this will be the end of your problem. Anyone who can show you compassion and attend to your emotional needs will help you along (and this includes you!). This is what the T is doing. Good luck to you struggling!
