I know this is obvious but it really hits me viscerally that I need you more and feel so much more deeply about you than you do me. When it comes down to i, if you do not exist in my life,I am still where I was the day I walked into your office.

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.
