Welcome Blanket Girl. I love the name and the reason that you picked it. Perfect!
I hope that this round of T provides you with the healing and insight you are looking for. I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome, Blanket Girl! I think it's great that your break from your T has made you aware of your own strength. And I'm glad that you reconnected with him so quickly after going back. I hope this round of therapy is productive for you.
Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Hi Blanket Girl,
Welcome to the forums! Glad you introduced yourself. I can totally relate to the whole blanket thing.
Early on working with my T, I got really cold and started shivering during a session when I was remembering some stuff and my T offered to get me a blanket. It turned out to be very important for me to experience having someone notice a need and take care of it. I later borrowed the blanket during an especially difficult time and eventually I asked my T if I could have the blanket if I bought him a replacement and he agreed.
I keep the blanket close and sometimes take it to sessions when I know that I need to be "held." I also pack it on vacations. My family has a delightful time with this, calling me Linus. They have nicknamed the blanket with my Ts name and once on vacation even found plastic eyes to put on it on a luggage rack and had a wonderful conversation. I don't care how much they laugh, as long as I get to keep the blanket handy. Which is all my way of telling you I REALLY can relate. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

welcome, blanketgirl! it is a nice place, here, and i applaud your reasons for coming back to t. it will enhance your life, i shoulda done it long ago, but i wanted to be 'strong'...bah! weak, denial, so go girl!! and bring your blanket!
i actually often (buy) and wear big warm, man sized sweaters, that i wear to t, air conditioning and all, but, also, i love the feeling of being wrapped in warmth and protection, and somewhat hidden. i have thought of a blanket, but hadn't had the nerve. i may revisit that idea though...safety and protection. mmmmmm.....
welcome!! jill

Welcome Blanket Girl!
I actually took a blanket too when I saw my ex-T. Sometimes I would cover my head with it and hide.
I haven't brought it to the T I'm seeing now (I think I lost it actually). But I do have a monkey puppet. I showed T the monkey puppet once but have been too embarrassed to use it in session. I wish I could get over that embarrassment cause I think it would really help me.
Good to have you here and thanks for sharing some of you story.

Welcome blanket girl!
Blanket Girl- welcome to the forum! 
I hope you find this forum supportive and a place to find some help beside and added to your Therapy. Iàm a newbie myself, and have allready felt the good support in here!
Great to read about the blanket- i think one of my sweetest moments in therapy was the session when my T offered me his blanket (There`s a really warm, nice blanket on the couch where i sometimes lyes down). I SO often turns a bit cold in therapy but i never noticed (or dared) to actually take the blanket and wrap it around me. It was right there in front of me all the time, but i was too blind and to self-absorbed to even notice the warm blancet lying there...
Do you allways bring it with you in therapy? your own blanket?
So long BG- Frog!
