Know where my child parts used to get their needs met? With lots of men. I would compromise my body to try and be taken care of by different men. I never understood why I would do that. It was an aching need. I hated the sex but it was necessary payment in my mind.
Well since I feel like I am loosing ground with T fulfilling what those strong young parts need, they started thinking about doing that again. It is the emptiness that I feel is unbearable. T was filling that emptiness but sessions have changed, he has switched directions and the empty feeling is back. I have to fill it.

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.
