That is a revelation for me. Damn I think that is why I connect so fast to a therapist and it becomes so painful between sessions is because I cannot make that same connection with anyone.
You are right about the transference hurting so much. 4 years ago I saw two T's to help split the transference and it honestly did help but that could not go on. I had to stay with one and I am still grieving the loss of him when I had to move. I feel like someone in my life died.

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.
