A short excerpt from a YouTube video (created/uploaded by Joe Polish) discussing a psychological concept called "Attractions of Deprivation." The speaker explains that people are unconsciously drawn to partners or others who wound them in ways familiar from childhood—because such patterns feel like 'home' and allow the psyche to unconsciously attempt to 'recreate the scene' to change its ending.

And there's a theory called Attractions of Deprivation, which explains how we are drawn to people who can wound us in a very familiar way to how we are wounded as children. It's almost nostalgic. Yeah, it's home. It feels safe. It feels comfortable, even if it's chaotic. And our psyche does a wonderful job. And it's also conscious of trying to. Of creating. Recreating the scene of the crime in an attempt to change its ending.
