I am so sad after session most the time as being with him reminds me of the grief and loss I feel everyday for never having a loving parent. I have no self care except continue on with life. I usually go home and start preparing dinner or do chores.

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.
