Series 2 Ep3:The Role of Repetition Compulsion in Victimisation

Written By Margot MacCallum, Narcissistic Abuse Counsellor Australia

Unpacking the phenomenon of re-victimisation of the innocent

The fact of re-victimisation is a known phenomenon in professional trauma recovery circles. People who have been bullied, abused or traumatised in early life are especially vulnerable to human predators. Some will put this vulnerability down to weak boundaries, natural subservience, lack of assertiveness or anxious and dependent attachment tendencies. Whilst these explanations may be true in part, the conundrum of re-victimisation is far more complex and interdependent than any single issue.
