gerber, what could be wrong with wanting that? wanting to be held, loved? it is the most natural thing to want.

my T tells me that I will learn how to get that need/want met in healthy and fulfilling ways. I'm counting on her knowing what she's talking about. I trust her. I trust that she cares about me enough to help me do this. And then, I assume when this happens, the strong longing, wanting, and hurting will subside.

I hope I hope.
