Yeah that is what I was thinking might happen as well. That I lose that connection that keeps me talking, trusting and being honest. If I push him away between session I know a wall will go up in session. Well I will see what happens on Monday. I wonder if he will even ask about the change in my habit of emailing him or if we will not say anything at all?

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.
