My T does not present himself having authority over me. The authority feeling comes from with in me, comes from my damaged brain of being emotionally abused and neglected as a child starting from age 0. Since I have parental transference and most my part are young then of course he is seen as an authority figure as children see adults as authority figures. Any T can take authority over you if they think you are a danger to yourself or others.

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.
