Repetition and Enactment in Therapy
We tend to repeat it over and over again as we go through our lives. When we draw somebody else into playing out that script with us, we call it an enactment. And actually, this is how the kind of therapy I practice works. It's almost unavoidable. You get pulled into enacting something and the therapist does. We take these patterns that we just reenact mindlessly throughout our lives. The way you sort of carry with them as this isn't good or bad or pathological, it's just human nature.
