How many clients do you think your T has? 30-50? What if every client sent an email with questions and problems? These are emails from people with fragile states of mind and can't not be answered quickly for intent and misunderstandings will happen. Sometimes T's take a stiff boundary on emails sometimes they don't depending. If you really want to know what your T's protocols are about answering emails.....ask. Perhaps a feel good compromise can come out of it. I have one T that is strict and will only answer if I pay him to answer. He said he is not a walk in clinic and if he just let everyone email him all the time whenever he would have no life or free time. I do not email him and I only see him twice a month just to unloaded. The real work, real recovery and healing is done with my other T who does not have those boundaries and it has had an amazing effect.

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.
