T believes in partly meeting some emotional needs while strengthening my coping skills, working with me to build a support network etc. Getting my emotional needs partly met in therapy has reduced the agonising longing to be seen, heard, heart loved, mind known.
I still miss ex T 3 years on. Really. But the longing has lessened over time.

That sounds amazing to fit with a therapist like that. I hope I can find that.
Why do you think you miss your other T? Doyou think their withholding evokes more needs for them in us?
My T did talk about compassionate witness- and he was that while we processed trauma . I'll be right with you, right here, take a risk. . .'
I dont know what happened- it isnt like that now.
