Oh, my son lives half the time with me and the other half with his dad. This is not about that for sure.

I actually wonder if this has something to do with the really difficult session last week with my T, he talked about parts stuff that confused and stressed me out. I didn't know why, still don't.

Maybe it is something to do with taking care of the inner child? Ugh, that feels wrong and I don't know why.

withoutthelove.....maybe you have something there, about subconsciously comforting and protecting from dreams. I certainly remember feeling a little better on waking once I realised I was holding the monkey. lol, yep it's a monkey. So cute.
