Reenacting Trauma in this case, the repetition compulsion involves directly repeating and reexperiencing the traumatic events of the past. What are the causes of repetition compulsion? There's no single cause of repetition compulsion. However, it is a complex phenomenon that can result from a variety of different courses. Some of the other causes that have been suggested may include unconscious patterns, attachment issues, conditioned associations, emotional dysregulation, personality and coping mechanisms with unconscious patterns
