Wow - powerful stuff, eh?
Well, I'm glad you were able to at least imagine snuggling up to her, even if not sitting on her lap. I would have a problem with that as well.
Now, the challenge is going to be trying to connect with that feeling of warmth and security. For me that would be hard on two counts - one, b/c it would make me miss my T more when she wasn't there, and two, it would mean lowering my defenses somewhat and allowing my vulnerable (child) self out into the world a bit. Not sure I could do that right now. I'm hoping you can, you are certainly making some good strides in therapy right now!
BTW - my T said something the other day about not making me do the 'empty chair' thing when I was talking about my grandfather. I thought of you.
