I will definitely be talking about it with my Actual T (not really had time to bring it up yet, the last sessions were rough and no time for planning much). I would mostly see it as way to... explore the separation anxiety instead of just feeling/suffering from it and trying to learn something from it, instead of the usual pain? I do see it partly as an experiment, from which I can only learn?
So... thank you for sharing your experiences, it does help a lot.
Catalyst: I pmed you to answer your question, I don't feel okay enough to be talking about anything here, it would make it too real and scary.
