[QUOTE=Nerak67;3352039]All I think about is getting to my next session. I live my entire week for that one hour. I think of reasons to email him that will be acceptable and then worry I've been a bother or inappropriate if I don't get a response.
That is so me. I will ask questions that I already know the answers to just to see a response in my email.
I will think of things that will make them proud of themselves......like pretend I did well with a certain situation that perhaps their advice helped me with. People want to be with you more when you make them feel good about themselves and will tend to pay you more attention or be more lenient then if you are sucking energy out of them.

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.
