My husband has always said I have fear of success. It is easier to stay at the bottom. Less expectations, less chances of confrontations, less chances of getting overwhelmed. Every time I get close to succeeding I find a way to sabotage it.Working on my self esteem, my confidence, competing smaller tasks will help me complete bigger projects in the future I hope. Therapy has helped me immensely. I plan on trying to take college classes again next year. We will see.

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.
