it is not a good idea for a therapist to disclose too much info.
I have been having a rough time lately because of my husband in on furlough from the federal government being shut down, our land lord told us we have to be out by the end of March despite all my marketing efforts I am not getting enough business. I also went on a job interview that caused every part of me to come out and I was self medicating the past few days.
So I go into session and he starts it off with he will have to be taking off a few weeks because his wife is pregnant and is due on Feb 1st and went on about scheduling and all that goes on with having a first child. I did not know his wife was pregnant.
Well after hearing all he was going through I just did not want to whine about my issues so I kept it light.Maybe he could have saved that to the end of session?

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.
