I so agree with this. I had one T refer me after a few months when I was already attached and it sucked so much. The second T stuck it out and knew how to keep things manageable. I still see her sometimes but I don't need much "reparenting" from her anymore. I still have a slight ache over what I missed but it's not a giant gaping wound anymore.

If I had a client in the future who was in need of reparenting I would try to help them do as much as possible for themselves, or get their intimate partner involved also if possible. I just think it's really painful to be dependent for that on a professional. Sometimes it can be the best option to do that in a limited way but I wouldn't do it lightly. Not because it's bad or because I don't want to but because it can actually be quite hard on the client.
