As an aside, little makes me more ragey than the notion of therapeutic holding. I'm a fan of therapy, yes. It has helped me tremendously. But therapists way overestimate their ability to provide enough support in their extremely limited context. They essentially drop you every week. So they need to get the fuq over themselves. Of course you don't feel held by their sorry fifty minutes. Of course your imperfect but caring parents hold you more.
I LOVE this post. This is exactly what they don't understand. They think fifty minutes with them is all good for the next week or holiday season.
