Back to the drawing board. It feels like an overwhelming itch that absolutely has to get scratched. It is all consuming. If I just give in then it is over and done and I can think of other things. If I fight it then I spend my time consumed with the urge and thoughts. I can't focus on anything else. Like tying the hands of a person, with OCD, behind their back so they can't keep washing them. It is maddening.

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.
