What is with the "wow"? I do not need assertiveness training.....I am very assertive. I am not the needy one here who needs a hug. I also feel I should not have to ask for a hug. Something like that should be "natural" and not forced or given it out of obligation or guilt or doing it so there are no hard feelings. Just saying.

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.
