I think where I'm beginning to land on this is that I don't know if any relationship will truly satisfy me until I feel whole within myself. I basically have zero self esteem.

I know I want to discuss the abandonment issues with my T on Saturday. I'd be happy to share what T and I discuss if you'd like. It may be helpful to hear another perspective, especially since your T and mine are so different (psychodynamic vs. humanistic)
Thanks for this! I think that is my problem also, the self esteem thing.
I'd like to hear what your T has to say about it .
