Hmm....I never thought of that before. Wow this is so true and I think I might be hitting that issue now with a new EMDR therapist. I am not liking him that much and I only had 1 real session. How am I suppose to do the trauma work if I do not really like him? I think his skills are ok but I have to want his comfort and compassion when things get rough otherwise I will just push him away.

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.
