For god's sake, I don't want either of those stupid transitional objects, it's far too personal. I don't want stupid objects or meaningless reassurances. I want you to listen to what I am saying without reacting from your place of insecure attachment. You can refer to learned secure attachment all you like, but your insecurities are written all over you. The fact that you didn't realise that I would find such objects a burden shows how little you understand me. Not all trauma clients are the same and your trauma response is not universal.
