[QUOTE=Mouse_62;5993645 I'm 56. So there's hope '>[/QUOTE]
I am 51 and restarted therapy. I started with one before thanks giving and just had my first session with another one as he is doing EMDR. He really hit a sore spot with me that the other therapist did not figure out. I cried like an idiot and was pissed I was even brought to tears at a first session. It really shook me for the rest of the day.

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.
