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. |

Good article. Nice to see my therapy and therapist are right on track. These are questions so many here ask all the time. This article does a pretty concise job of summing up what to look for.

Good read- the only thing I'm not sure about is whether there's some structure in my therapy sessions... Otherwise I'm good

1. Does my therapist listen to me and to the concerns I bring up in therapy?
Not really, he hears it, asks some question and then moves on with no real exploration other than surface level. 2. Does my therapist talk more about himself than about me? He talks about himself a little, but not too much. 3. There seems to be no structure or focus to the sessions. Sessions meander from one topic to another and have little to do with why one came to therapy. There is absolutely no structure to the sessions it seems, he just asks the same questions over and over again and gets the same answers and then moves on to a completely different topic. Or he just focuses on medication for the large part of the session. What does that mean? Should I seek out a new T? |

Wow! I need to print that article and keep it as a reminder on how evaluate my therapy. Turns out I should have left my old T a lllllooooooooonnnnnggggg time ago. She NEVER discussed what I originally came in to therapy for except to dismiss it as topic not valuable in the therapy room. And I stayed with this woman thinking her credentials made her a good therapist...NOT. Oh well now I know better. Now I know I have a good therapist this time around...she didn't devalue anything I wanted to work on in therapy including managing my depression and anxiety. Oh well always did learn lessons the hard way...haha.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
