LT- Sounds like a really good session.
You and your T both had some great insights...especially the part about missing "the feeling" you had with Ex-MC more so than missing him as an individual. I think this is what I experience too when I miss and yearn for my T. I miss the feelings I have when with her (acceptance, non-judgement, caring, emotional holding, etc) more so than I miss her as a person- especially since I only know her as my therapist and not really as a person at all. Or not as a whole person anyway. I only know one small part of her...the person she is in the therapy room doing her therapist thing! Anyway, I'm digressing and rambling now.
PS- I wish I could remember (and reflect back) on my sessions as well as you do. I think it would help me a lot.
