When I heard about the Vegas shooting............omg  this is awful but I was jealous of the ones who were shot dead. I wanted to be one of them.
I think that was when I started looking to go back into therapy. I told the new T that too when they as at the first session why did I feel I need to go back into therapy.

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.
