He suggested to go twice a week and made it clear that it was not necessary for me to go twice a week but it would move things along faster with EMDR. It sure moved things along faster with my ATTACHMENT to him.

Now he is trying to get me to once a week by reducing sessions gradually. one week once a week the next week twice and week back to once a week until I feel I can reduce them further.

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.
Thanks for this!
