Are there any resources out there on intentional emotional SI?
Thanks!

Can you describe a bit more what it is you do that feels like emotional SI?
What I do is go on political forums and lose arguments with posters who are really mean. It's a compulsion, or addictive pattern that I'm still struggling with. I'm not sure what I'm doing is emotional SI, but sometimes I don't take care of myself in who I choose to talk to about my PTSD.
I am trying not to re-enact abuse patterns from my childhood--which I realize internet posting on some forums becomes for me.
Yikes. I didn't mean to steal your thunder with the topic. I'm just trying to better understand what it is you are struggling with--and then see if I can offer you some support.
