My suicidal idealization and being actively suicidal came from my PTSD. When it was all consuming my T new I was in a flashback and once I could become untriggered crisis would always fade and I look back at the week wondering what was all the fuss about for me to want to kill myself? It was a continuous cycle. EMDR, lots reframing negative core beliefs, parts work....all has helped calm things down.

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.
