This individual only cares about the "hunt", as he is a predator type individual. He likes the chase and gets bored once he has captured what he set out to get. Most predators look for a certain kind of prey, when that prey runs, they take that as a signal to chase.

When you get triggered by remembering what he did that challenged you, it's important that you learn how "not" to feed into the experience and increase the power of the trauma that is there in your memory. Instead, acknowledge the trauma, but also make it a point to recognize the patterns you now know that he tends to use. Just because you got caught by him, doesn't mean you can't change that by understanding his pattern and learning to not play his game. Most predators like it when their victim runs, that is often what most predators react to.
Thanks for this!
