He touts only have a small case load and he helps people tame their anxiety, boot their depression, ditch their addiction, and overcome their trauma through EMDR. I believe he tried to ditch me because I used up to much of his emotional energy and I was not an easy case. I see a lot of young therapist now on psychology today saying their speciality is in anxiety and depression. The run of the mill issues you see in this stressful society.

Why work hard if you do not have to? I do not blame them but you cant find therapist who thrive from taking on the challenge of a hard case anymore.

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.
