I did IFS with a therapist in conjunction with EMDR. My therapist now said that most likely the form of therapy integrated some of my parts with out actually doing integration work. IFS was really helpful but what was the most beneficial was the connection with the therapist that was more healing than the therapy. Well at least for my young parts.

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.
