CBT Therapist are not all to concerned with the "Whys" as they are about your faulty thinking on situations on the present moment. Oh good luck with the thought records, hot, thoughts, evidence for the hot thought, evidence against the hot thought, balanced thought. It did not work not one bit on PTSD or bulimia. CBT is a fail for that. Yeah I can whip,out a balanced thought....no problem...I know HOW I am SUPPOSED to think but that does now change WHAT I feel. It is like buying a big *** smile on your face when you are so down. It does not work. Run like the wind if they decide to do exposure therapy on those with complex PTSD.

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.
