Needy.....I have had a child part triggered the last couple of days and when that happens all I want is attention from my therapist. I already pulled a semi-crisis email on her yesterday and got two emails from him. I feel guilty about that. He his away for thanksgiving and I wont have my Friday session with him. I keep telling myself I am a grown woman 15 years older than him for heavens sakes Moxie what is wrong with you?

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.
