....or something like that. My new EMDR-T said I am what they called in his field "Theraperized" as he puts his hands up and outlines quotes with his fingers. It means I have had so much therapy and have read everything I could that I could be a therapist.
Oh great so there is no hope.
He said what happens with those like me is our core values have not changed and we still have those faulty core values.

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.
