CBT also failed me. So he changed it to client focused therapy even though he says EVERYTHING, even EMDR, is CBT. I also see another T who does IFS/EMDR(have not done that in 2 months). They both list themselves as life coaches as well. I think they chose what style to use with me that day depending on what mood/part that walks in the door.

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.
