but literally, right now, that is all I think about. How did this become so unhealthy and all consuming? Something in me is so broken. It saddens me to no end and I know this is a core problem and not sure how any therapist can fix it.

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.
