He said we pull you in and hold on to you as you heal then slowly let you go, like a baby bird.

If i rely on her, i can't get by the rest of the week - which sucks

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">That is so very hard when we are in the strong attachment phase--to get by the whole week. Some people go to multiple sessions a week during this time. At some point, it is supposed to become easier to last between sessions as we learn to "internalize" the therapist, know that he/she exists outside of therapy, can recall at will his/her soothing words and presence, etc. Kiya, did you ever reach the internalization point with any of your previous therapists? If so, maybe you can use that as reassurance that you will get there this time too, but you need to go through that strong attachment to get to the other side.
