Yeah this has been a long journey. 2 years of what feels like hell for me. The only reason I can see the part that is so obsessively and desperately attached to him has calmed down between sessions is because it finally believes that he is REAL and that he will not abandon me. I told him I had constant nightmares of him dying and obsessive thoughts that he was going to move to another state and that I would just have to divorce my husband and follow him. He assured me he is settled and not moving.
I am also so excited because we both got the first vaccine shot and he said that once we both got the second shot I would be the first client to have sessions without masks! I hope he does not renege on that.

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.
