<font color="green"> Today, my therapist said I could have 6 calls a month and she will respond to them, but I have to be sure and say I want a callback. She was so supportive and said she was sorry that I was unsure about when I could call and get a response and when she is gonna push me to trust in myself.
I told her about feeling awful and whining for my therapist and she was very accepting, we talked about how I feel like I am too dependant and she said that we knew we have a special relationship. That I had said in the past she is like a mother for me; one I can trust and not fear. She talked a bit about how when I am done with therapy I won’t feel so needy with her. That our relationship will change and it is gonna be ok. She will be here for me as long as I need her. Somehow, I got the courage to ask her if it was ok to ask her for a hug. Natch she says yes and just waits for me with a smile. However, I was there already today, I asked and she hugged me. It was wonderful, like coming home. I really don’t know how I will ever outgrow my need for her. </font>

It's great you can have such an open and honest conversation with your T. It sounds like you are asking to get your needs met and she is helping you meet them. How wonderful!

<font color="green">I was amazed at how little I ask for and how hard it is to ask!
 Why couldn't she just be a mind reader and supply my needs as soon as she recognizes them? Duh, she is a human and I need to be able to recognize my needs and learn to ask for them to be met.  I wish I had asked her for a hug sooner, maybe some of my weirder dreams wouldn't have happened. I used to dream I was a cat and would put myself in a place for her to adopt. In the dreams I could curl up in her lap and purr while she stroked my head.  Or that I was a small child and she would rock me. I have told her about the child dreams but not the cat dreams.  I really love her and it feels good and scary and strange....  Oh and she likes me too.  </font>
