[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750355, member: 18958"] This is very insightful. There is a central principle in psychology called the compulsion to repeat, or "repetition compulsion." it seems we are hardwired to keep trying to fix deficient relationships, starting with our parents. We will try and try and try with the aim of getting it to come out right, trying to elicit the behavior that we believe will repair the wound. It seldom ever comes out as we hope. You're right. It's the compulsive behavior (the addiction, the wish, or what's desired) that is the problem. It's not just you. [/QUOTE]
