A session outside the office would really help break that therapist/client dynamic and perhaps I could be more "real" giving him more insight on my depth of an individual. I am really tired of sitting across from him whining about my same issues. Same **** different day. I have lost motivation, passion and drive. Hopelessness is creeping in and I am scared of the stress and turmoil coming up in my life soon.

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.
