I have never read that. I had my first therapist ask me where I see myself in the future and I said I was never suppose to live this long (I was only 43) because I had every intention of killing myself so I never ever planned for the future. It was so hard for me to plan anything other than the next day.
Very interesting. I am past that now and I do plan for the future but it is hard for me to visualize a future.

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.
