Oh yes. I am in the same boat. My EMDR T would like me to come twice a week which means I will have to cut my talk therapy T out because insurance will not pay for 3x a week therapy. I have to tell T1 that this coming week. I originally started with him and he was the one who encouraged me to find a therapist who did EMDR. I was thinking I could just see him every other week and pay him out of pocket. I am concerned for his feelings about him losing that money because I know he just started his practice and just got married last year and they are a young couple.

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.
