Sometimes it may be easier to say that thaan confront that we are the ones saying or feeling childish things because we feel that way now and not because it's some old hurt or past grievance.
Sometimes we all want to pout and stomp and that's an ok part of our adult selves.

This is very true. I often don't want to leave at the end of T. While some of it is unmet needs its also that I work outside in all weather and have a lot of responsibility. Ts office is climate controlled, cozy, softly lit,and I turn my work phone off for that hour. That's an attractive combo and its often just not wanting to get back to my normally kind of stressful life...which is perfectly acceptable but has nothing to do with my childhood.
