Has anyone ever asked their T for a transitional object to hang onto when T is gone away? A transitional object is like a teddy bear or other object that a kid likes to sleep with, for instance. I actually confessed to my T that on one particularly awful day I just wanted an old shirt of his to cuddle ... a shirt that smelled like him ... not that I have ever been close enough to ever actually smell him.lol I was so embarrassed telling him that but as usual he accepted my feelings with grace without making me feel stupid.
