I Have to look in the mirror when i pass one ebery time to check my stomach and to see what others see. I am controled by this. All day long i think about what others think about my body if they think my stomach is fat or my a s s or my thighs. I feel gross about myself. Obsessed about my body image.

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.
