What would bother me more are the "e-mail agreements ". If we make an agreement, then you better stick to it or I will have a tantrum.
The needy, clingy baby needs that I had for her- when those weren't satisfied -and they never could- that was a recurring problem for us. This was one of the many things that led to my terminating with her.
The needs that could never be met. Not by her. Only by me.

Thank you, Pam. I was replying so I didn't see your post on the first page. I didn't skip you on purpose in case you thought so.
Yes! Everything you wrote is the way I feel too. I want to be my T's only client! Adult Rainbow understands the reality, though. My T continually works with me on taking care of the child parts on my own. It's hard to balance because those parts need T's love too.
The email agreement changed because my H got sick. I also have trouble keeping the connection with her since I don't see her weekly.I'd rather deal with it than her stopping email. Yes, I know T can't meet all my unmet needs but she believes that SE is helping, and that the physical touch and love are too. I agree. I'm sorry it didn't work with your former T. What orientation did she follow? Just wondering.
