Why You Keep Repeating Same Mistakes? Repetition Compulsion!
Brussels Morning Sam Vaknin Author Archive https://brusselsmorning.com/author/sam-vaknin/
Your future self is a stranger, your past self is real, there is no present self.
Identity is made of memories. But memories are unreliable and, consequently, your identity is in flux.
So, to orient ourselves in a future world, we hark back to the past: our autobiographical memory plus our emoational reactions to catastrophic events. Hence repetition compulsion.
Fantasy, Daydreaming, Wishful Thinking, and Plain Dreams.
3 techniques:
1. Talk to your past self from POV of actualized fantasy
2. Write a letter to your future self (guided imagery)
3. Map of happiness
