Escaping the Echoes: Overcoming the Repetition Compulsion

Have you ever found yourself trapped in an endless loop of negative spirals? Do you constantly find yourself engaging in the same maladaptive behaviors, seeking out similar types of relationships, or being stuck in an addictive cycle of worry? If so, you're not alone. In fact, there's a fascinating phenomenon at play here, and it all goes back to our childhood. Join me as I delve into the depths of the human psyche and explore what Freud famously termed the "Repetition Compulsion." This compelling force drives us to unknowingly recreate familiar patterns from our past in our adult lives. It's a phenomenon that holds immense power over our actions and decisions. In this thought-provoking episode, we'll shed light on why we find ourselves trapped in these repetitive cycles, uncovering the roots that lie deep within our formative years.  Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
