That's good, that resolves a lot of my concern then. I'm glad she acknowledges you should have gotten more nurturing as a teenager and, I suppose, as a younger kid. Well, you're right though, it doesn't resolve the concern that you still need to be cared about as an adult, as do most clients who are revealing vulnerable stuff.

I think it's in most humans' natures. But Stopdog definitely says she wants the opposite, so I don't know.
