Seeing a T twice a week really helped with the abandoment issues along with being able to have contact between sessions. It helped ease my fears and neediness. I am able to cope better between sessions also.

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.
