I've noticed a pattern and think I have identified it as regression. At the moment it is showing itself as I find myself attracted to men. Other times it shows up when I am under male authority. Yet other times it happens when I am triggered by some event. I emotionally turn into a child and the other person is an adult. I can't *not* do it. I would prefer that it not happen because it ruins the equality in any relationship it happens in. I am certain it has to do with me being sexually abused as a child. I don't quite know how to fix it though.
Does anyone have ideas on this topic?
