I adore my old therapist. He saved my life or shall I say gave me quality of life. I saw him for 2 years and then I had to move. We have a platonic relation ship and even met him for coffee on time. We talk often by email and text and when I am having a relapse he will call and chat with me to figure out what is triggering me.
I started with a new therapist but he is young and has tight boundaries.

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.
