Traumatic avoidance? Hmmm I wonder if that is what happened to me when I was poked and prodded and whisked away into surgery for a hysterectomy 8 years ago and I can not bring my self to go back to the doctors so what is left of my lady parts have never been check again.

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.
