The little girl is finally starting to be filled up (by your therapist for the moment).
I know some people don't like to speak about the inner child, but I could not explain it any other way.
It's been a joy to watch you evolve. Happy journeying!

I appreciate your words very much, and I'm so glad you're back so you can observe my progress.I've read about oxytocin and I agree with you. I also agree that the little girl inside of me is getting the love she needed. Or starting to. I am so grateful to my T. No other T dared to express love to me!

Yes, it is amazing, and I'm so glad you've felt it too. It must be what an infant feels when it bonds correctly with its mother. I still feel satisfied, just thinking about what T wrote. I emailed her that I feel a warm, protective coating all over me. I know that sounds weird!

I'm sorry your T wouldn't say it to you. Are you sure? My T didn't for 5 years, but she showed me how much she cares in other ways. I don't mean to make anyone jealous. I never thought my T would say "love". You never know!
