Hi Daisy,
I am sorry you are having a hard time. But I find the part that you said about "Still Needy" a bit worriesome. I think working through csa needs A LOT of time and understanding and rehashing everything out and relearning new things. It takes quite a bit of time. Is there any way you can give yourself *full permission* to be completely childlike and give your full trust to your therapist and permit yourself to need him as much as you want and for as long as you want?I generally think it is not a good idea to need a therapist or be dependant on them that much. But I think in your situation, it is warranted, and plus your therapist has proven over and over again, that he is completely trustworty and *will not* let you down. I believe you can trust him 100 %, and give yourself the full permission to depend on him as much as you need till you get this fully sorted out.
Sometimes when very bad things happen to us, we just need to talk about it again and again and again and again, and for someone to console us again and again and again and again, and after sometime, it kind of becomes ok. I am glad you have your therapist who understands this perfectly.
