Hell yes! That happened to me with T1. I would sit down look at him and just start laughing to the point the tears would flow. It happened when I knew he was going to do exposure therapy and I would have to talk about events. I would laugh for like 5 minutes. He learned if he just started talking about something it would help me stop laughing. He also could not stop from giggling sometimes.

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.
