Who does not get transference the way we seem to? The enmeshed kind? The kind that is all consuming? If a person went into therapy who came from a family with both parents and had their needs met, verbal & pre-verbal, get that kind of transference?
Interesting how a topic like this has the most replies compared to other postings.

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.
