It makes sense that being a Preemie and then obv not have the nurturing closeness of being breast-fed would absolutely have an impact.
I think the jealousy you get about your T and the rage you feel when she won't tell you things about her personal life are all feelings infant get when they start to differentiate from their mother. THey begin to see their Mother as separate and the get rage if their needs are not met efficiently and they get feeling of jealousy if they sense the mothers attention is else where. It threatens their very existence and their survival. It sounds like that's what you are experiencing?

No, but I've seen 5 t's with different orientations. My current T knows I have attachment problems. They all did. One did object relations therapy with me. Another CBT though I fought her about it. Another psychodynamic therapy. Another one was a Freudian psychiatrist. One thing I know for sure is that I am NOT going to see another T. Never. This is my final T. I'll be in DBT but will not seek out another T. Yes, what you wrote sounds like me! My T, using IFS has tried to get ME to comfort the baby and small child who didn't get what they needed from my Mom. She says my needs are probably preverbal. She wants my adult Self to learn how to soothe the baby. I've done that at times, and will have to do it more. My T always said I could visualize her being there too.
I'm curious. Is there a certain book or something online you're reading about attachment? Thanks!
