My T told me today that she feels like she wants to protect me sometimes, which was really sweet of her. I know one of her daughters is a year older than me, and one is a year younger, so I know that contributes (she has said so herself). But it's nice to have someone who wants to protect me, who cares, who worries about me if I'm struggling, and who is there for me. These are all things I've felt like I needed for a long time, but never got (I'm only 22). I was never protected, cared about, worried over, or anything like that. I was the "strong" one who never was given any nurturing, so I acted like I didn't need it.

I don't know what the point of this thread is, except to say I am really appreciative of my T right now and definitely lost in transference feelings. Haha.
