>Repetition compulsion is the unconscious tendency of a person to repeat a traumatic event or its circumstances.>This may take the form of symbolically or literally re-enacting the event, or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to occur again. I need today's brightest anons to weigh in here. How does one choose the new path, not the familiar one?Does returning mentally to a traumatic situation help us master old wounds/understand what went wrong? Or is it futile and damaging?B.F. Skinner: "The difference between rats and people is that when the rat gets shocked at the end of the maze, it doesn't go back." Yet people do.
>>31693678fuck you
to avoid being vague: My example is that I got shot in a dispute a few years back and now I watch a shitload of violent crime court cases/interrogations where the offender gets prosecuted. It accomplishes nothing and I can't stop doing it. I can't let it go.>>31693686If you are unable to meaningfully discuss, why bother clicking Reply? faggot.
