Ego State Therapy useses parts also. I have done parts work with past T and current T. T emphasizes that we ALL have parts. Everyone. It works for me and I can recognize when I get triggered what part is out by how old I feel. Usually it is a child part that holds the trauma because you ask yourself if you feel like your best adult self and if you do not well then you have a younger part active.

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.
