We always say not to wear your diagnosis as a badge but with these symbol tatoos that is exactly what is being done. There is one that those with an eating disorder tatoo on themselves. I would never tatoo my health issues on my body. It is not your identity.

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.
