I'm so impressed with your post. It's so honest and authentic. And your images of being a baby with your T loving you is so very sweet. I hope someday you feel safe sharing some of this with her.
From my own experience working with clients, I can tell you that I would be pleased, not in a gloating way, but because I would be so happy for you. I can also tell you that your T means it when she says she cares for you and she is not going away. I can remember a client I had who tested me quite a bit. One time he finally said he was terminating because he thought my time was better spent helping others. I told him about my confusion in trying to understand what he wanted, but also told him that I would be there the next week at the regular time, as that was his time. He returned the next week, and this was a bit of a breakthrough for him, because he had tried so hard to push me away and failed. I don't know if your situation is similar, but I can say with certainty that I was pleased for him and sincere in my words to him about caring.
And I'm so pleased for you in sticking with this despite how hard it is for you to trust. I wish you feelings of peace and security.
Take care,
