LPT: If someone is willing to share other peoples secrets with you, they’re willing to share your secrets with other people.

Yes, however, it's how I learned about my long-term abuse too. I had someone that treated me better than anyone ever had and, apparently, my PTSD brain went looking for the pleasure high. I had been abused my whole life and literally couldn't comprehend the kindness this man showed me so much that I went to therapy to understand what the heck I was feeling that was new to me (genuine love). Come to find out, a PTSD brain in survivor mode actually goes searching for pleasure as a way to 'fix' itself (regulation) before killing itself off from the pain (depression). Abused people are in fact commonly cheaters because their brains are trying to find pleasure so hard that their moral code doesn't matter anymore (survival/primal mode). The brain and subconscious is actually quite fascinating, but it sucks to see misinformation spread like this, because every human is susceptible to being triggered into survivor mode. Addiction kinda works the same way. Addicts tend to have a lack of empathy too because they're also in survival mode.
