I was at a skating rink with my family and had a sudden clear image of my T skating with me. It made me tear up. It was a fleeting image but it was so clear, and left me missing her. She was herself but I was little. It was over in an instant. So powerful though.

yes, ive had experiences where i could suddenly imagine/feel my t with me... Like walking my dogs, at the park, at home, out in a restaurant, shopping... and i am always little too.

I didn't imagine it. When you say FEEL, that's how it seemed. Like out of the corner of my eye, suddenly T was racing across the ice and I was with her. I don't skate but T is athletic so I bet she does. Maybe it's part of wishing I could be with her on her vacation, and also just wishing I was little with her and she was taking care of me. I DO feel like she's with me. In my heart.

Yes! It's amazing. I've also had memories of the past where I've "inserted" him into a scene. I felt awkward about it at first, until my T suggested that it's a visual form of "internalizing the therapist" and there's nothing wrong with it.

Sometimes I hear myself saying something to me in times of stress, only to realize it is what my T might or has said in that situation. Another type of internalizing.

And I don't know if this is another example, or if it was just a weird thing-- I haven't shared it with T. One day I was out at lunch and I had such a strong feeling of T's presence, I kept looking up expecting to see him. Then I left the restaurant and went to the food co-op and he was right there. Freaky, but also cool at the same time.

I have had instances of having intense feelings of being comforted -descend on me. My first thought was of PrevT.

It has happened a few times while I am doing something mindless like playing a computer game. I was not thinking of T, therapy or my situation at all.

I did not see or hear anything. But the feeling was powerful.
