So I am wondering if it's time to stop.
You need a fresh pair of eyes or shall I say ears. Someone with a different modality. I say stop therapy and detox from it for a few months and then start to look for a new therapist.

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.
Thanks for this!
