This might help you with wanting to connect with t too?

I'm not sure. When we used to do more IFS, my T had me imagine her holding baby rainbow, along with my Mom or a close friend as well as my adult Self. She wanted me to be able to comfort the baby myself, though. That's the goal. So, it may be confusing for me, as well as triggering at this point. But you're certainly right. Even though I'm a lot older than my T, a lot of times I wish she could be my Mom. I used to tell her I wanted to be a baby kangeroo and ride around in her pouch all day! She said she liked that image! That was a couple of years ago, though. We've kind of moved beyond that, though I told her the baby and child parts still want her. I even told her she doesn't care about those parts anymore but she said that wasn't true.
