I know that for me, feeling connected to T is the number one most important thing in getting any work done in therapy - and in feeling okay outside of therapy . I know that when I'm feeling really disconnected, like you are, T really goes out of his way to figure out a way to help me reconnect. I mean, he makes a HUGE effort. We've seen each other for extra sessions during times like that, as well as had more phone contact, more e-mails, etc. Finally, something usually "clicks" and we can go back to our usual level of contact.

Perhaps T is seeing this need with you - the need to reconnect so you can start feeling better - and this is an effort on her part to help foster that connection? I don't think it means that you're "unwell" at all - I just think it's about rebuilding the necessary connection with T.

Plus, this might help you see that T is so different from your adoptive mother. Instead of ignoring your needs and pushing you away, she's drawing you in with open, loving arms.
