Does anyone have a physical symptom that comes on before switching? When things start going south in therapy the upper portion of my right side of my face feels heavy pressure almost as if my right eye is going to implode, I get light sensitivity and the side of my head feels pressure. Im not in any pain though. This is when a child part comes in and shuts the system down and will not participate any longer in therapy or answer questions. I am very dumb, can barely talk, I feel like I could drop and go to sleep. I remember some things of session later on but not all as it is all just flashes of images.

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.
