Does anyone- with a history of trauma or not- find themselves abnormally fond of t.v. shows that feature abuse/violence/trauma/horrific stories? I'm realizing that the extent of my liking of these kinds of shows is unusual, but I can't pinpoint exactly why I like them so much. I'm particularly riveted by shows about true stories... documentary-ish... things that show real victims of trauma/pain/abuse. And I mean, these shows are graphic, gut wrenching, sad and hard to watch. But I can't seem to turn them off. I'm up into the wee hours of the morning watching show after show after show. It goes beyond a simple interest in this stuff... it's almost crucial for me. Anyone else feel this way? Any ideas?
I appreciate any input... even if it's 'no, you're crazy CT'!!
