I do not do it daily....something has to trigger my inner critic like critisism or being bullied at work....something that either makes my self hatred flare up or the feeling of not wanting to deal with life anymore. I bash my head into the ceramic sink at work or a brick wall at home. The pain is intense and immediately distracts me from the emotional termole.

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.
