I am just wondering how people manage the feeling of being needy with their T?

The thing is is that I have got this far in life without being needy with people; needy = vulnerable and I don't do that.
My issue now is that I have this overwhelming need of neediness with my T. I haven't told her this, I'm thinking about it next time. I don't like it and feel like there is a fight going on in me between my independent self who is staunch in not wanting to be close to her, and the needy part of me that just wants her to hold me and tell me everything will be ok. Ugh I hate that part.

So how do people manage this? And if you are a bit like me and are fighting it have you given in to it, and how did you do that?
