These are the outward eruptions of inner suppressions.”

“Another explanation is what Freud called “the compulsion to repeat” (p.37). This is when traumatized people re-victimize themselves and enter into situations or relationships that recreate their trauma.

However, all it does is put them in further danger, exasperating their pain and leading to more self-loathing.”
