I was stoked when he said he started IFS training. I kind of felt like I was the reason he did that to begin with. I am kind of excited to see where each session takes us. He is going to want to explore that part of me that is so attached to him. I am embarrassed about this part and what it feels and what it wants from him.I go in there not really wanting any therapy. I just want to be in the same room as him and him paying attention to me. Talking to me. I want to be bathed in his light. It is creepy.

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.
