I would find another Therapist for at least one session to discuss this entire situation with instead of listening to us. I mean....what do we know? You are going to go do what you want anyway. Are we changing your mind? You need a seasoned professional to talk to about this and help sort out your feelings.

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.
