So I talk to a therapist about another therapist. So weird. Yes we discussed my diagnosis. Bottom line is perhaps what is playing out in session with T2 is a process and needs to play out before things get better. T1 also mentioned to ask him questions on to why he felt he even needed to tell me about his diagnosis of me as was there a purpose. T1 has not seen me dissociate, I have always been present and engaged in his sessions.
Tomorrow is session with T2.
I am so paranoid he reads this forum and has seen everything I have written. How embarrassing that would be.

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.
