At this stage in life you need a therapist to just unload on, talk about the week, what went right, what went wrong, help turn around any negative thinking. They can not "fix" the core you. With the right therapist you can be higher functioning. They can not make you happy or enjoy life. Non of them can. That is all on you.

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.
