I never called it that before. Thanks for the link to this article.

Your therapist will never be able to fix the emotional hunger you have by being your therapist. It can't happen. No amount of hand holding or anything else by your therapist will fix this.
You need to accept this. Accept that you are dependent, needy, and have emotional hunger and that it probably will never be fixed by anybody in your lifetime!
What might help is to go out in the world and get involved with activities you enjoy, challenges, etc. that might be satisfying to you, meet people, find what truly fills you up.
