I feel like I am battling my therapist and trying not to lose myself in the process. It makes me wonder if I should cut and run but some how i am dependent on this battle as a purpose in life. I would feel lost and empty with out him and it in my life. Holy cow what am I even saying?

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.
