Oh I did the same thing. With T1 I would not even give him my address or any contact number. I was paying out if pocket at each session so there was no reason for him to know where I lived and I refused to give him my husbands name and number. He still accepted me as a client. 10 months later I still have no desire to give it to him.
T2 because insurance is paying I had to give him my address but I put my phone number under the emergency contact number.

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.
