Journaling sucks because it goes no where. There is no caring human being on the other side reading it and caring. That is why emailing T's are important even if they do not acknowledge the email until session. At least they have a view into your thinking during the week, see patterns and use it to guide therapy sessions.

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.
