A safe person (not place) is when that person will not use the information that I trusted them with, experiences, weakness, and then turn around and use them against me in some way. If they are a safe person I can be true, honest and let my walls and guard down.
To see that in someone takes a long time. That is why even though I am attached to my T I still do not fully trust him.

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.
