I think this is good HG, I think it shows a lot of progress that you've reached a point that you're able to feel clingy and needy with T.
What IG says above about holding in the neediness makes a lot of sense. I remember trying to get my needs met by some of my Infants' teachers because I had to be strong at home. Of course I got (gently) reprimanded, though it didn't feel gentle at the time. Of course I learned that getting one's needs met is not proper. Trying to re-learn that it's okay 30-odd years on is *hard*.
These days I'm feeling like I need/want something, but I have no idea what, just that I shouldn't expect whatever-it-is from T. ... I'm a little lost...
