Maybe she DOES need to hear something like that. Polite patients often get the shaft I hate to say.

EXACTLY! The squeaky wheel gets the oil. That happened to me two weeks ago. I sat in the waiting room 40 mins past my appointment time for him to come out and tell me he can't see me because the client before me is having issues.  So I went home in tears triggered into an emotional flashback because that was the theme of my childhood. The ones who made more noise got the help and attention while I was always scared to open my mouth for help.

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.
