My T is a way due to a shoulder injury. I have taken an imaginary walk with my T a few times lately. I meet her at the office and ask her to go on a walk with me. I usually use my fall version of the walk because that is the original version hence it is easier for me to change the script in my mind. We walk through the woods over to my pond. I usually lay down while T runs her fingers through my hair. This is a behavior that my great aunt used to do when I was a kid. This behavior always made me feel sooooo cared for more than any other behavior. I am wondering if this fantasy is a good/bad idea. Is this mentally healthy or am I encouraging an increase in sicko transferance? I sometimes think of T as the parent of my inner-child. I almost feel like I love her except that it is transferable (can switch to different person in about six months-probably) and I don't really know T. I just know how she responds to me in session. Does anyone else have T in their relaxation exercises? This walk started out as a way to relax myself into sleep. Now, I think it is becoming another way to feed my inner-child.
