I so wish for you that you had some real-life support somewhere, somehow. Well, I wish it for myself so maybe it's just projection. But anyway -- I surely hope things get better for you soon. And hope the online T helps, not hurts.
Yes all that did happen along with some guy blowing a red light and kareeming into me totaling my car but that was in March. Husband is not out of the woods with the cancer. Goes back in for a biopsy in 5 weeks again.

I did email a T I saw briefly before this one. I get an appointment every now and again from him but he is kind of useless. To chill, does not get into the trenches with you and definitely trained in any trauma therapy. In my panic and despair I emailed him and asked if he had any openings. 2 days later he responded (he is slow) with times he had available. Honestly I want to talk about what is happening with this T but I just do not know what to say to him. I sound childish and ungrateful.

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.
