Yes, this is the closest description for me too. More of a state of being than anything logical or describable. Like holding a tiny sleeping baby. My T and I don't use the word, but there is definitely love in the room.

LT, I wish he could accept your feelings because acceptance would be the gateway to all the other things you could dive into if he understood attachment/trauma. It's like you're both stuck in the doorway and now you are tasked with describing to him what a doorway is.
Thanks for this!
