CBT therapist do exposure therapy for trauma. What a barbaric practice. He almost killed me. He should have admitted I was out of his scope of practice. He did have the balls at least to mention EMDR but left it to me to find a therapist which I did. I do not see CBT man anymore. He couldn't deal with me.

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.
