I was afraid T would panic and send me away when I first started with him but I was in therapy because I was so suicidal that I needed the help. Finally talking to him about it acted like a pressure valve release plus he did not panic. He was incredibly empathetic and showed immense concern.
If you can't talk to him about something that is effecting you and can be life threatening then how is therapy going to help you?

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.
