Thank you "Open Eyes". I had therapy today and tried to explain all this. He did not have much to say even to explain to me maybe what was going on. He brushed me off and asked was there anything other issues I wanted to get to today and then scooted me out right on time. I left there feeling very ashamed of myself for telling him everything I was experiencing. I feel ashamed of myself.

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.
