Yeah we try to do that for EMDR. Safe place visualization. I suck. For me it is like meditation and that never works for me either. Neither does hypnotherapy. Just cant relax the mind, visualize and feel like I am there.

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.
