The "recharging" helps, but it isn't as good as getting the object originally. When I first got my object, there was something around the novelty of having a tangible item from my T, rather than something like a voicemail or an email or a photo on my phone. There was definitely also something around her seeing that I really needed something to hold onto between sessions and her meeting that need for me. Acknowledging my difficult feelings and wanting to come through for me. The recharging is kind of like that, except I have to ask. But she agrees to hold onto it when I ask, and I think about it sitting in a certain spot in her office with her all day, and then when she gives it back we have the moment when it changes hands again. So I find that satisfying on some level, even if it doesn't feel quite as good.
