I second that. I feel like I'm growing up with my children too. When I go about my day and stumble into thoughts about my therapist, it makes me feel like someone out there cares about me on such an intimate level. I feel warm and fuzzy about it. And understood.
I asked my daughter recently (she's 12) if she thought about me at school and how did that make her feel. She echoed my feelings about my T. Then I reflected back to my childhood. I can't know for sure since I can't remember, but even now, I don't feel warm and fuzzy when I think about my parents. I don't feel much of anything. I guess there's the problem.
Daisy is right. Attachment, attachment, attachment.
I hope you enjoy your vacation. Are you going as a family somewhere? My T's first summer vacation is 12 days (over July 4th week). That works out great for me since I'll be pretty distracted. My son and I are taking my daughter to summer camp, a 4 1/2 hour drive away. I decided to make a little vacation out of it since my husband is using his vacation days for August. It's in the northern part of my state and I have lots of friends with summer homes to visit.
I like your image of going to therapy in pj's. Back to the comfty, cozy feelings.
