verbally attacking those who resemble childhood abusers

Post Reply New Topic

Is there a psychology term for when someone is much better functioning, and is mostly past PTSD, and is now very reactive to verbally pounding on people whose actions resemble the abusers from childhood?

I know what you mean, but I'm not sure that I agree that someone who does such a thing is past PTSD. I did read some time ago, while reading Toxic Parents and similar books that we will always react negatively to those things which caused us pain when we were children until we are able to overcome the hurt, I agree.
