So I felt so bad about myself because of the session with T1 that I sent T2 an email about this to see what he would say and perhaps it would make me feel better. He replied this in a couple of hour.
"Hey Moxie, I have a bunch of thoughts.
I think what it comes down to is we all are living to survive, thats true. But, do we feel like we deserve to live? If we dont feel we deserve a life it changes how we view living and surviving. I agree its the brains way to relieve stress and don't feel there is anything wrong with having fantasy thoughts as long as you keep yourself safe.
The question would be if we all expire at some point, what type of legacy do you leave? What you do for the people with your business means so much to them. They even tell you that. That is something that is fantastic and something good people do for others."

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.
