Daisy, I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time this week, but thankful that you are able to both write about it here and process it with your therapist. He sounds like he understands perfect, most of the time, what you need and is willing to give it to you.
<<How can I be this glad that I have a therapist who will meet these needs and be this mortified for having them at? I think the psyche is twisted.>>
I think this is a "natural" occurrence for abused children -- we are taught that we are bad, pathetic, selfish, whatever, for needing the grown-ups around us to take care of us and/or protect us. It's no surprise to me that so many of us feel mortified for needing anything from anyone.
Hang in there, Daisy, and keep sharing when you can.
