Survivors of trauma and early attachment disturbance are at elevated risk of a variety compulsive and self-endangering behaviors, ranging from suicidality and self-injury to indiscriminate sexual activities and binge eating. Although often seen as symptoms of a personality disorder, behavioral addiction, or impulse control disorder, emerging research suggests that such behaviors actually serve as homeostatic responses to triggered childhood memories in the face of inadequate emotional regulation.
