As I am leaving he mentions it to me. I cry foul play. Therapist do not forget to tell clients they will not be in the office for their sessions. In the past he sent out a global email to all clients with instructions.
Am I thinking into this too much? My mind keeps going to him grooming me for termination. That triggers me so bad. He is also harping real hard on him writing down goals I want to achieve in therapy. He has never done that in the past year and a half. Something is up.
He said to me one time, in a real bad emotional session, that even if I achieved everything in therapy and all my symptoms went away, I did not have to keep coming and even if my insurance went away he would figure that out and do a sliding scale for me.
I do not trust anything someone says in a heated or emotion touching moment because it is said just then to try and help but maybe not really mean it.
I know I am a big girl, grown woman, and suck it all up.

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.
