The emails on my attachment explained how I felt like my self worth and Identity was coming from him and without him I felt empty and I could just die. He was the catalyst to all my successes in therapy and outside of therapy. The he is the one that is like the wind under my wings and he brings color to my world. When I think about him not being there anymore all my issue come back and I feel like I never went to therapy.

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.
