It is completely healthy and normal to have this fantasy! Your T is caring for your inner-child, fulfilling those needs. It is completely normal that you would imagine her doing something that your great-aunt did, which made you feel safe as a child.
In one of the rooms that I have session in, there is this painting of a picnic scene.. there are no people in the painting. T asked me to imagine him and I in the painting. He asked what would be happening. I imagined him setting next to me, then holding me. I didn't tell him about that part... I wasn't ready to. I acknowledged to him that there were parts that I was censoring, but wasn't ready to talk about.
Hopefull, it is okay to feed your inner-child at this point if she needs to be fed.
Are you comfortable talking with T about this scenario? I wish I could talk to my T about mine.
