INTULEXIA: Those who have experienced relationship trauma through addiction, may tend to re-create dysfunctional patterns of relating in the present

INTULEXIA: Those who have experienced relationship trauma through addiction, may tend to re-create dysfunctional patterns of relating in the present, that mirror unresolved issues from the past, whether or not addiction is still present. This can occur through psychological dynamics such as projection (projecting our pain onto someone or a situation outside the self), transference (transferring old pain into new relationships), and reenactment patterns (re-creating dysfunctional patterns of relating over and over and over again).
