When I have heard people talk about object constancy, they have felt like the therapist just didn't exist somehow. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. It sounds like you felt connected, that feeling faded after several days, and now you miss the feeling of connection. I don't think that has anything to do with object constancy, but I could be wrong.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. I don’t have to go and find some fancy psychology word to apply to it. He’s nice to me and gives me his undivided attention. Why wouldn’t I miss that?
