She gave me a silk bed cloth from a psychodrama we did. I love to wrap up in it on cold nights, and in cold airplanes. I use to carry it at other times for security, but not anymore. My mother would not allow her babies to use object for security. What if it were lost! She didn't want the headache.
Having had a transitional object and other self-soothing techniques I learned in therapy helped me in my healing journey. Now, I don't need a transitional object, because I have cemented an internal attachment figure. What I'm left with in overwhelming times are the images and FEELINGS that get me through.
