We repeat traumatic experiences in an unconscious attempt to gain mastery over them. If you felt rejected, unloved, or powerless as a child, you may recreate similar experiences and relationships in an unconscious effort to heal yourself by gaining the acceptance or love of another person or by regaining a sense of control.We tend to choose partners and friends who treat us similarly to how our parents did, and we continue to play our roles as we always have, thereby recreating the same outcome. This is Repetiton Compulsion.
