I do my best to hold onto the caring feelings, but it's hard. It's one of the reasons I email my T weekly: just to reinforce the feelings. She always encourages me and reassures me. When we go to monthly sessions, I will get a letter and a transitional object from her. Those will also help me hold onto those feelings.

I'm the same way with my fiance. Luckily, he's okay with all the reassuring. We have a ritual of how we say goodnight, we always cuddle before bed, and we're always giving hugs. I think he likes all the reassuring too.
