Hi listener,

I think there are people who set up situations that mimic the abuse they experienced in the past - I think this is more common than you may realize, both sexually and in other ways. I don't struggle with the kind of problems you're mentioning, but lately I've really been wanting to hit myself, and I've been wondering, like you, if in some way I'm wanting to re-create some of the abuse I experienced in the past....and I don't know. I hope maybe you'll think about talking with your therapist about it. I know that's probably a scary thought, but I would imagine that would be a start for finding some help with this, or at least it would be a place to get some of the thoughts and feelings out. There are also support groups for people who have sexual addiction, if you think that might be a problem you have.

Take care,
