Viola seems to be re-experiencing the same trauma over and over again, similar to what happens in PTSD. Also seems to be experiencing dissociative symptoms as well which supports the diagnosis #rwjblymanor
@AlexanderAL904 Yes. In general we seek out what is familiar to us. If we grow up in a chaotic or emotionally neglectful environment we may (subconsciously) seek this out in future relationships. It’s only when this is brought to our conscious mind that we can change the pattern #rwjblymanor
@md_schroen What is the reason behind this? I found some info about repeating what's familiar, what was learned at a young age, or to gain control over a fear. Is there an accepted theory on this and is this behavior generally subconscious? #rwjblymanor
Rebecca may be right in saying she’s been with men like him before as we often repeat bad patterns in relationships. Something she could explore further in therapy #rwjblymanor
