Not particularly, but I do notice when I get recalcitrant in therapy or whatever...We talked about my "parts" and he knows that my "child" stays with him all the time or in his office because she is safe there and I'm not able to give her the nuture that she needs.

Once or twice when dissociated or particularly upset, he asked me how old I was. Don't know if I answered or not...

But he does speak about that theory where toddlers are at preschool and they toddle off and play for a while, then come back to their parents and hold their knee or suck their thumb then just toddle off again to play and brave the big bad world. He thus helps me want to learn how to go back out in the big bad ugly world...by always being consistently "there" should I need to toddle back and sit by him for a while. I'm sure the super poombah's here know what it is called and understand it much better...but for now, for me, I'm glad I have T to toddle back to when upset/confused/frustrated/hurt/scared and have a boo boo from this world I live in.

Right now, I wish I could just sit on his lap and flip the world the bird.

Sorry...
