Quite the puzzle: No matter what you do or how hard you try, you always get drawn to toxic relationships.
“Why do I keep sabotaging myself?”
The answer is trauma reenactment. An unconscious behavior in trauma survivors, reenactment occurs as a difficulty to separate past emotional pain from what’s happening in the present.
Shedding the chains of trauma starts with a holistic approach to therapy. At The Diamond Rehab Thailand, each client receives unconditional support and treatment that allows them to regain full control over their life.

Your treatment program lays the groundwork for a lasting recovery. One size doesn’t fit all – we believe that each client should have their own path. Your personal plan paves the way and gives you the ultimate tool for coping with reenactment episodes.

Traumatic reenactment is explained as reexperiencing unresolved feelings of neglect, abuse, betrayal, or abandonment. It happens in trauma survivors as a subconscious emotional response.
The traumatic affect i.e. feelings are so intense that a person is unable to process them properly, which leads to the reenactment of the original trauma. According to Sigmund Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle, a repetition compulsion is an attempt to master and control the psychological responses to earlier trauma.
Childhood trauma sufferers have low self-esteem and poor coping strategies, making them easy targets for predators. Over two-thirds of children have reported having traumatic experiences by the age of 16, SAMHSA explains in their article Understanding Child Trauma.
To cope with that extreme stress, shame, and bad memories, children are likely to dissociate themselves. Besides dissociative defenses, children develop ego deficits and experience internal states such as confusion, anxiety, numbness, fear, and depression.
Young men and women who were sexually or emotionally abused as children report low arousal and hyposexuality, as well as a tendency toward problematic intimate relationships in their present lives. This type of romantic relationship includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, or codependency.
When reenactment happens, the person takes the role of either the perpetrator or the victim. According to an article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health titled Childhood and Adult Trauma Experiences of Incarcerated Persons, 56% of criminals (male inmates) reported having childhood physical trauma.
The trauma triangle represents relationship dynamics, roles, and patterns seen in survivors of trauma. It features three roles – victim, rescuer, and persecutor. All three roles avoid self-responsibility using different mechanisms.
The victim: Sees no options and feels helpless to change anything. They take no responsibility at all. It’s common in people who were neglected in childhood.
The rescuer: Diverts attention to what others think and tries to control the situation by controlling others. The rescuer takes responsibility for others but neglects how they feel themselves.
The persecutor: Blames others and gets angry when their needs aren’t met. Takes no responsibility and has a tendency towards violence. Underneath the surface, they feel shame for having their own needs and desires.
The three types of trauma include acute, chronic, and complex trauma. Acute trauma occurs as a consequence of a single traumatic event. Chronic trauma is a result of repeated long-term events such as domestic abuse or violence. Complex trauma develops from multiple various traumatic events, often experienced in relationships with people.

Everything you want know
An example of trauma reenactment is a situation where a person that was sexually abused as a child enters sexually abusive relationships as an adult.
No, trauma reenactments are just a self-coping mechanism. Most of the harm you are causing is to yourself. That’s why a lot of people with past traumatic experience are vulnerable to substance abuse (alcohol and drug addiction), self-harm, eating disorders, avoiding medical treatment, and putting themselves in harm’s way.
The best way to stop trauma repetition is therapy. Methods include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, group therapy, and self-help techniques.
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is often the best option for treating trauma reenactment and its consequences.
