Am I being ungrateful? Should I feel privledged that he shares his personal mental health issue with me? I am having a problem with wrapping my head around this. By him disclosing information I have judged him and deamed him uneducated or experienced or just ignorant to help me.
I am titrating our sessions at this time and have contacted another therapist to get into a therapy group(not DBT). I have another T I see everyother week who is the voice of reason and I respect very much. So I will see him and do the group therapy once a week.

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.
