I used their chat line last night as a distraction from partaking in my eating disorder dysfunctional behaviors. They give cookie cutter answers. There is no real feeling there. They do not prod you to talk and there can be long pauses of nothing. So I just disconnected chat with a big sigh knowing that was not going to be any help.

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.
