How did everyone fair during the holiday with all the food around? Did you partake in your eating disorder behaviors? I am bulimic and did purge Christmas eve only. I have been in control since and even started the Paleo diet again. It has been 3 days and so far so good.

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.
