I love that my T is open and can share things about him and his life. It puts me at ease from the beginning. It is one of the reasons I stayed with him. I will never again see a therapist that is stiff, cold and Fort Knox boundaries.

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.
