This week I decided never to email a T again because I would get giddy thinking they would write back and keep checking my every couple of minutes and if I hear an email come in my I get excited. So when I never hear back I get very depressed and feel lonely and worthless like I am not good enough.
Deciding not to correspond stops all of the above and I function better.

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.
