I have had many transitional objects from past relationships. Actually, I still have the items. They have always helped me.

As far as a tangible object, my T doesn't want to give me one...yet. She wants me to value our relationship while I have her in my life and not an object that symbolizes it.

When we do terminate, she said she will give me a transitional object. I tried to convince her that it be a soft object. She doesn't want it to be. She does want it to be something that actually symbolizes our relationship. She will also give me an updated picture of her and a letter.

But my T has given me other things to help when I miss her. I have her emails she sent me and a letter she wrote me. She'll let me borrow one of her books even if the point is just to have possession of something she owns. I also have a picture of her. She didn't give me that, but she knows I have it.
