I trust my T and this is the kind of therapy we're doing. I'm sure dealing with no longer being that baby is part of it. I emailed her "what about now?" so I'll see what she says next week. I do remember her saying that it calms the nervous system NOW, so that's good. It's what she's paying a lot of money to learn (somatic experiencing) and I know many researchers write about, and many Ts utitlize the mind/body connection these days.

I am very happy that it seemed a way for me to stop wanting her to hold my hand, as the feeling was that good!
