You are the first T I would actually allow to comfort me with a hand on my shoulder or a hug during a rough session and I wish you would if it is warranted. I could not let any other T do that and I do not know why I feel differently towards 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.
