Is that similar to not having needs met? My therapist has brought this up numerous times but I don't really see it myself. Apparently parents can be all loving but just mistuned to a child?! mmm....

I don't perceive my difficulties are to do with problems in relationship/attachment but my therapist would likely beg to differ! I admit that my emotions fluctuate quite extremely in reaction to other people and my moods flip very quickly and suddenly in therapy which is tiring and time consuming (I wish I didn't get so angry all the time!). But it is difficult to tell what is a problem and what isn't where this area is concerned I think. I admit I get really tired sometimes when people try and help me and I continually push them away...wish I knew why I did this and could stop it!
How does it hurt like hell? What hurts?
