So it can very well happen that there is a "trauma therapist" who only knows about the type I trauma, has been educated in using the protocols centered on exposure and cognitive restructuring and who is completely oblivious of the other types of trauma. Thus, this therapist will happily take on patients with trauma (also complex trauma cases), starts applying their expertise on them and is probably quite puzzled and stuck of why their patients don't improve but rather start behaving rather weirdly. Surreal situatation, but as we can see from the picture, it happens and probably quite a lot.

I am Complex PTSD/Borderline/Bulimic with all the fun behaviors you think come with that....Well at least I am not Bulimic anymore and I feel I no longer fit the Borderline diagnosis. He was using EMDR and advertises EMDR as the best treatment for trauma. He now feels IFS is better than EMDR now since he started the IFS training.

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.
