My theory is that many times when a client becomes overly dependent in therapy and gets worse, it is because their "baby" parts have attached to the T (due to feeling nurtured) and taken over the client's life. The mentality of a baby is it can't do anything to help itself, but if it just cries loud enough its caregiver will come and rescue it. The solution is for the client to learn how to soothe her own baby parts, and to keep on using her adult parts to help herself as much as possible between sessions instead of giving into the baby's agenda of simply focusing on being rescued by someone else.
Thanks for this!
