For those of you who dissociate. . .

Have you ever had the experience where your therapist gave you a hug, but only the "adult" part of you could feel it?

That's what I am experiencing now. It's weird that after all this time of the child part of me wanting/needing physical comfort, now that my t will give this to me, it is only the adult side of me that can feel it. I'm glad for it, I really am. But in a way, it's sort of disappointing because the adult part of me doesn't really feel like I need connection or comfort -- it's the child part of me who does.

Why do you think this would be happening?
