This is a opportunity to have a fresh pair of eyes/ears/technique/ideas to help you move further in your therapy. Things can get stagnant when you see a therapist for years. Your old T should have plenty of chart notes to send to new T and they should have a phone conversation to catch new T up on your case.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
