I am starting with a new EMDR therapist. Have not done it for 3 years but it really helped me. The key is having a great connection with the therapist. I won't be doing EMDR until I can feel connect and trust him enough to be vulnerable enough.

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.
