This is why separateness is so important to explore in therapy.
It is also why attachment is so much the focus of therapy. It is how we separate, how we experience that original loss, over time, that is so crucial.

"Necessary Losses" by Judith Viorst is an excellent book about losses.
Thanks Echoes, i will look up this book. I feel so much shame about being attached to anyone, particularly my T. But i'm learning thru these boards it's a natural part of the process.
