Reassuring about what? That everything is going to be ok? I have never been reassured by a T. Well maybe that I am on the right path or I did the best I could in a situation and had nothing to feel guilty about. Is that what you are talking about?

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.
