Repetition Compulsion & Trauma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Levine details something that occurs when the body\u2019s natural psychological healing process goes awry: repetition compulsion<\/em>\u2014a trauma survivor\u2019s unconscious drive to repeatedly act out the incident that originally traumatized them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This compulsion comes from an instinctual drive to process the traumatic event. Unfortunately, if someone lacks the awareness necessary to allow their body to finish processing their trauma, this drive can cause them to play out the traumatic event in the real world rather than internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repetition compulsion can lead to dangerous or self-destructive behaviors<\/a>. For example, someone who experienced emotional abuse in childhood might repeatedly seek out romantic partners who are critical and demeaning, unconsciously recreating their childhood dynamic. Or, a person who experienced food scarcity in their early years could develop an eating disorder as an adult: They might alternate between periods of binging food and intentionally starving, reenacting the cycle of feast and famine from their past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levine explains that this kind of repetition offers a way for the body to release some of its pent-up traumatic energy. For this reason, it can make a person feel better\u2014but only temporarily. Ultimately, unless they fully complete their body\u2019s natural trauma recovery<\/a> process, they\u2019ll unconsciously chase the relief of repetition and reenact the traumatic event for the rest of their life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repetition Compulsion as an Escape From Numbness<\/strong>

In The Body Keeps the Score<\/em><\/a>, Bessel van der Kolk offers an alternative explanation for why people feel compelled to reenact their traumatic experiences.<\/a> Traumatized people often go through life feeling emotionally numb and disconnected from their lives. According to van der Kolk, reliving the traumatic event provides them with a rush of emotions that\u2019s otherwise absent in their day-to-day lives.

There\u2019s a physiological explanation for the craving of intense emotional stress: Trauma survivors become addicted to the stress-induced endorphins that their brain secretes when they relive their traumatic experience. In their daily lives, they experience withdrawal from these endorphins as pain. Although finding a way to reexperience something traumatic isn\u2019t necessarily pleasant\u2014and it\u2019s potentially dangerous and self-destructive\u2014it helps relieve this pain.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
