I am a mess right now.........I wasted so much time with him. He was going to be my hope. Now I feel like a failure instead of feeling like he failed me. I am all over the place with how I am seeing this. I emailed him to cancel the Thursday appointments and I though for sure he would at least question why but no a word from him. I was secretly hoping he would want to try and process all this and help me with the emotions I have. I feel like the extra crutch I had has been knocked out from under me even if it was a shacky crutch it still was a crutch.

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.
