I would really like to send him that but it is all futile. I do feel defeated here. For years all I read was it was important to tell your therapist about your attachment and feelings for him. I held back thinking now way I feel too much shame. The things I read would say they therapist is trained not to make you feel shame and would be able to handle it.
What a moron I was for telling him.

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.
