Saw T2 today and I just was not any better. More thoughts of not wanting to live and very depressed. I left there not feeling any better than I went in. We did not even talk about my diagnosis because we discussed my marriage and how unhappy I am but I am safe and my husband takes care of me financially.

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.
