So I have a question for all of you:
My pattern of being attracted to people is that mostly I'm not. Except for two instances where I've been WILDLY attracted to people who treat me like crap. The attraction is so out of proportion to everything in my personality and everything else going on at the time, that I have suspected that somehow these two people are reminiscent of someone who may have abused me sexually as a toddler or infant. I say may because I don't have conscious memories of this, although my T has suspected for years that it's true.
So what do you think? Is it possible? God knows, there is plenty of physical abuse from the length of my childhood that I do remember. But this out-of-proportion attraction does not seem connected to that -- and I've done so much work around those things that I can't imagine I could still be subconsciously triggered at this level.
