My new T has a software that each client has a sign on for. It has billing, session appointments, email and a spot for Journaling that you can keep private or share with him. It is wonderful way to take down notes of how you are feeling between sessions or things that have happened between sessions so that he can read them and be ready to discuss for your session. I wrote a journal note jotting down how I felt after the first real start of listing all the trauma and giving them a title. He emailed me that he received it and that my self awareness will be helpful and to keep communicating.
Anyone else's T have that?

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.
