My T responded to my email with a very careful generic "I am sorry" and do self care and remind yourself you are not in the past.
I think he forgets I had 2 years of trauma therapy. Then again what could he even possibly say? When I get triggered I have a child part that gets activated and longs for comfort and I guess that activated part wants more then generic words.

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.
