People post things for other people's opinions and experiences and that is what i gave. Replying to a post with "All due respect" and ending with "speak for yourself" is offensive and not called for. You could have simply stated your experiences and shown an opposite effect of CBT then mine.

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.
