Turtle,
I had to laugh at your post... First for throwing my own advice back at me, since I really hadn't thought about employing those tactics in connection with my current situation. So today I did try to practice what we collectively preach, to try to get a little bit of nurturing or sustenance from every interaction, no matter how small. It's so amazing that when you do that, the glass fills up whereas in the alternative outlook the glass remains empty!
Yes, you did understand what I meant about achieving maturity in therapy seeming to then "dis-qualify" you from feeling childish needs for care and comfort. I like the image of you giggling in your sessions and your cartoon arm-flapper. I enjoy your combination of sensitivity and humor, Turtle.
Thanks for the lovely post :)
Lucie
