Just building on your point which makes clear what I often experience in both person and media so we can add value to the dialogue. Clarification:

“Reenactment” or “repetition compulsion” is the [deliberate] tendency to recreate, [exaggerate and fabricate] circumstances, relationship dynamics, or emotional patterns that mirror past traumatic experiences. [Then publish them as a report, that promotes “explaining” (rather than debating) ad nauseam.
