For me it is feeling like I'm not alone. That my therapist cares and will help me. That he won't let me be "dropped".
This feeling exists outside of the therapy sessions, too. It is a feeling I can take with me whereever I go. That I can trust him and rely on him. It does have aspects of being held like a baby is held (of course, not physically, but psychologically).
