Repetition Compulsion

[Our abuse recovery guide]

Seeing Harley Quinn visit has stoked a thought. She has shared about repitition compulsion on the detaching board, but I think that it has it’s place here as well. I’m posting the Wiki link to hopefully get this rolling. HQ, please chime in and join us.

Well, yes. I’m guilty of this.

I recognized some significant indications of this type of pattern for myself in June. Tried to have a conversation with husband about this, thus continuing the repetition. Shaking my head at myself. sometimes all I can do is utter a string of profanities and laugh at my own folly.

First step in making progress is recognizing the problem.
