You have to push the boundaries to know. What is the worst that can happen? If he terminates you for that well then he is not the therapist for you and it is time to move on. What is the best thing that can happen? You do need to discuss your feelings about this otherwise his therapy will not be productive for you.

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.
