It has always irked me when a therapist normalizes things I say. Feels the same when non-therapist do it. Maybe it is dismissive. Like when you say some days I do not feel like getting out of bed and they say everyone feels that way one time or another.

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.
