  • In this video, Rosenberg reduces his practical and theoretical explanations for his "Codependency Cure™” work, which is the follow up to his Human Magnet Syndrome books.
    This is a mold-breaking information that represents the most modern thinking about codependency. "Codependency,” is re-defined and re-conceptualized into “Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD)™," which is a trauma, core shame, pathological loneliness, and addiction disorder.
    “Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD™)” is the crucial reformulation of the term “codependency.” It strips the antiquated and often misused word of its shaming connotations while providing a realistic description of the problem. As most people with SLDD will confirm, they would never be in harmful relationships with pathological narcissists if they had a stable sense of self-love.
    The full-length video seminar (5.5 hours) is available here:

I think self love is a life long process that some people might get in low times in their lives where they settle for the narcissist. Because if they were healthy they would not accept their abuse. That’s why the divorce happens naturally.

    So here I am at the age of 36 wondering why it always goes wrong. Girlfriends told me I was controlling, a military doctor said I didn't like myself, and I'd tried SSRIs for depression. I'd pieced together my childhood memories and used Ayahuasca to explore my unconscious. I knew I was never loved and always felt different, I never knew what I felt had a name. Self love deficit disorder is much more helpful than codependency "disease". Thank you.

    Yeah, you pretty much sum it up perfectly. I had a horrible codependency problem. The anxiety would be so bad that I would physically feel pain in my chest when I felt separation. I couldn’t bare being on my own, even though I didn’t really enjoy other people’s company either, I liked being alone as a teen, I enjoyed my own company but once the codependency started kicking in I couldn’t bare silence and loneliness. I had addictions because I couldn’t deal with any of my emotions nor trauma. I craved love and company because I never had it plus I was terrified of being with myself. I neglected and abandoned myself for years, I was terrified of myself, or my emotions, my trauma, my thoughts, my feeling of loneliness, separation anxiety, didn’t feel good enough to be with myself. Plus your self identity is both terribly damaged and absolutely dependent on others view of you, you don’t know who you are without seeing yourself through others’ eyes because that’s what the narcissist taught you, and your only way of survival to the narcissist’s abuse and manipulation. You literally as a person don’t exist, don’t matter, and your self image comes from others. They always taught you your needs didn’t matter nor even exist, so you always ignore them to fulfill others. Your boundaries were non existent and your right to voice your discomfort was tagged as “crazy” because “no abuse existed” (gaslighted) that basically you just have no right to say no to anyone. It’s a horrible thing... because you realize that you forgot you were a person too at some point...
    Dependent on others’ view of you, feeling responsible for other people’s lives, and terrified of going back to yourself with also the fact that you forgot how to do that and who you are is a terrible combination that destroys your life. I’m getting out of it, stay strong people, there is a way out. A way back to yourself, that self that you might not understand how to love and might think is unlovable but that’s not true, once you remember oh Lord you will remember what true love is 💖 And will even wonder how couldn’t you love such beautiful person that you are 🤍 I’m rooting for all of us

    Mr. Rosenberg, this is a terrific video. I just turned 50 and two years ago I decided to go no contact with my narcissistic father and my two enabling brothers (one is the Golden Child/narcissist himself, and the other is the Lost Child), "resigning" from my decades-long position as the Scapegoat. After decades of being dismissed and invalidated, I ended up in a psych hospital for ten days, a period during which neither of my brothers so much as picked up a phone. The aforementioned never followed up/checked in on me re: my recovery, but since that hospital stay they have certainly exploited my struggles to show outside parties "See, he's a very troubled person. He's mentally ill." Well, I *am* mentally ill; I struggle with what you call SLDD. The irony in my accusers' allegation is that they are comfortable in their ignorance and devoid of any accountability whatsoever where their role in my mental and emotional challenges are concerned. It's been extremely depressing to come to the realization that your own family is *not* a source of alliance and support in this life. Thank you for disseminating information and providing education on this topic. I value the work you do, very much.

    Finally after 62 years, bringing all pieces of the jigsaw together. A current experience with a Narcissist neighbour has triggered root cause trauma.
    She is violent, ex-military, controlling, extremely manipulative and has enablers, flying monkeys in the neighbourhood and in authority. She has also sprayed toxic substances into my garden and carved bamboo spikes to impale my cat, verified by the police.
    Currently, she is causing a rat infestation in my loft from excessive bird feeding rendering pest control ineffective. Unfortunately, I had already moved, when I had a dream about being held down and fed intravenous poison and another that there was a tiger on her garden shed watching and waiting to pounce. Hence so pleased to have found your CRUCIAL work on dreams within the healing process.My dreams act as helper and guide and now like an artist friend, I act upon them.I believe they hold and await the solution to current crisis.
    My Mother was co-dependent to a alcoholic husband, also her Father and my brother.
    I have only just discovered I have SLDD as a result, programmed to be responsible, meet others needs, not recognise my own, now having to be aware of, set boundaries etc. especially in a hostile environment.
    Denial/repression was easier .
    I am exhausted, taking AD'S and have VIT D deficiency. I want to be asleep all the time, perhaps to process all this as part of the healing journey? but it means I can barely function on a daily basis, yet alone move. Consequently, as no contact is not an option, I am minimising exposure, but just the thought of her, yet alone sight or presence makes me feel revolted and physically sick.
    The body also speaks and trauma is also held at the cellular level in me, it's the gut. I intend to move on to the 10 step treatment program, when time, energy permits, to focus on the solution rather than just the problem.
    However, in my experience this is not a linear process, i.e. one can experience several aspects of the 10 step program simultaneously. I am also being made aware of the spiritual healing dimension in the recovery process, from separation to integration. Some believe that there is a pure essence within that cannot be polluted or violated, if we can reconnect to that, find and shine the light even in the direst and darkest of circumstances.
    It is good to know I am not alone on the journey and I hope this helps others in some way.

    I have this and I think your analysis is bang-on right. I was raised by a narcissistic mother and sociopathic father. Most people gravitate naturally to the familiar, esp. childhood role models like parents. I am empathetic and a magnet to sociopaths and narcissists. So this theory is key for me to learn and get better.
    The only thing I would add is that uncertainty drives core shame and there is a viscous circle that goes on in that section of it, which acts as a motivator to continue to be trapped in core shame, even when you have core self love. I have been acutely aware of this since I was a child. It is this evil doubting of ourselves that stops us from moving up on the hierarchy to the next level. Personally, I find that even when we have mastered the next level, this is the area that needs the most amount of work, because with self doubt, it triggers all those developmental stage habits that kept and keep us SLDD in the first place and we fall right back to the core shame section (mainly because childhood reference points are hardwired into the brain and the easiest to revert to, unknowingly in many cases). I work on this daily. I hope these personal observations help your theory, as that is my goal in this. You have a wonderful channel here and I am going to buy your book as well. God bless.

      I think it’s kinda the same thing. That “supply” is what they recognize as Love. So it’s kinda the same I think… except for the narcissist recognizes supply which is essentially external “validation” and energy, as lobe. I think bc they’ve developed such a strong protection/self-serving mechanism, it’s only ever self-serving, along with the other deep defense mechanisms that combat their deeply ingrained self-esteem issues and self-hate and unworthiness beliefs. It’s changed their wiring to view “supply” as love. Sad actually bc what- u kinda just HOPE that’s not you or how ur brain and defense mechanisms decide to react and interpret. But essentially I think it’s the same thing. Both addicted and longing and looking for love. Except narcissists have a different incorrect view and experience of “love”. (Which really is the worst case scenario possible. How tragic, and unfortunate. A curse that would be truly. Everywhere seems to hate them but when I think ab it, it’s empathy. They have the most horrendous cases. They have the worst I believe)

    Healing is not possible alone. Good people such as friends, therapists or other healers offer an immeasurable transformative presence to our lives. Recovery does not need to be so painful or complicated. It is one day and one step at the time along with lots of patience, lightness of heart and mind, and loving determination. A simple daily meditation practice is essential to let out the garbage of our ruminating minds, as well as energetic distancing techniques for the overly sensitive ones like me.

It is like climbing (growing ) out of a well! But you can newer forget that well... PTSD remains. This is why we have all these mental issues... I think narcissism is an unconscious choice! While SLDD is a result of a narcist parent or parents. I had to fight both PTSD, SLDD, and covert narcissism in my mental development!

    I'm So grateful for my trauma therapist. 💗🙏🏻
    After 50 years, I finally feel like I'm figuring out why I am the way I am & learning to cope, heal & love parts of myself I was scared to even look at, let alone love.
    Thank you for this.❤

    Almost all DSM diagnoses are treated with the presenting problems, and most core issues aren't addressed either. Traditional psychotherapy needs to diagnose most individuals with adjustment disorder, rather than labeling them deficit, dysfunctional, or broken....when instead they experienced dysfunctional traumas that broke or injured their healthy, developing spirits. Nothing's inherently wrong with most of us (barring biological or physiological inherited psychological conditions), many traumas/wrongs were done to us or experienced by us.

    That's not the only reason this happens. It happens when your oldest sibling is killed in a car wreck when you are under 5 years old and the melt down of the family does long lasting damage. Forcing yourself to over-achieve to make up for your lack of self-love and forcing yourself to become introverted mitigates the problem. You may never love yourelf, but you will at least respect yourself. You will always be a narccist magnet. Just know that. And there is no shortage of them these days... Likely due to the high divorce rate and broken homes. Besides, romantic love is just a chemical reaction. Real love is spiritual and can only be found there. Courage!!!

    Although I like the term Self love deficit disorder, I am concerned as a therapist specializing in narcissist abuse that Ross Rosenberg’s material implies that anyone involved with a narcissist is a “co-dependent (described as a “fixer”). I would encourage one to look at Sandra L. Browns work and others on this relationship dynamic in which has research support and is less subjective shaming.

    I love this explanation, so clear, it actually has helped me take steps to real change... I have watched a few times and shared with others in similar circumstances. But it takes to empty the old view of oneself and truly accept this reality . Unless we take responsibility for our selves we then can benefit from such information.. I wish it was in Spanish to further share it with others....

    I just had my in laws live with me and my husband for 2 years, and my MIL is the Narc who wanted to take over my home and my crown. When she realised I had figured her out and disengaged and moved on with my life, they staged a spat and thus called the sister (Narc) to collect them. After realising they wanted to infiltrate our EVERY weekend picking and choosing belonging to collect, I made a stand and told them it was all going into storage on their side of town, Husband has been right by my side and has now been accused of being in turmoil and aggressive, but that's what it took after much kicking and screaming but I now have a list from them, and now I just hitched up the trailer and reversed it into my curved driveway all by myself! So I am learning so much and taking care of business, now that we have forbid them to enter our home. At 46 years old, and looking back on all my friends and boyfriends and how narc they were to me, I have been coached for the last 2 years to achieve my business dream that was born in 2008, and I'm never looking back.

    Instead of blaming many who are being gas light by calling them as having a self-love deficit disorder how about instead shining all of the examination lights onto the top of the triangle instead concerning those at the top of the food chain who often have real self-centeredness and real selfishness instead?

    What an amazing video: content, narration and production! A hat trick. Nice job. I've read your book and Pete Walker's books. Recently, I started reading Dr. Arthur Janov's book "The Primal Revolution", which is blowing my mind. I see a lot of similarities between "The Human Magnet Syndrome"/SLDD and Primal Therapy. Is the connection intentional?
    Also, how does one distinguish between Asperger's and CPTSD from childhood trauma?

  • @jenniferw-c5940
    @jenniferw-c5940 Рік тому +1

    This is only helpful is one understands what a "narcissist" is and applies it to the other person. Second, saying that it starts with "being raised" by someone who is transactional, judgmental etc, often leads to putting the blame on a single custodial parent. It does not address the absent parent who may or may not have been judgmental or transactional. THat person may have done something different but not unrelated to a child feeling unworthy such as, for example, an absent parent who regularly makes promises of visiting, but calls to make excuses and doesn´t show up . . . or maybe does but only after the child has waited hours and hours, even a day, for that parent to show up (partial reinforcement - causing a kind of desperation in the child to have that parent ágain´because, if nothing else, everyone on tv has one, the other kids in school have one etc but also, if and when this parent shows up, there are likely even more promises made . . . íf I lived here, I would buy that house (nearby) so we could visit every day . . . I am going to be at your next performance . . . If I had custody of you . . . . fill in the blanks). Third, I feel this is a dangerous video because it causes viewers to diagnose themselves as well as diagnosing others, which is simply a bad idea.
    Lastly, this video seems judgmental in itself.
    Calling people who need help "addicts"? Wow - that is a loaded word. Happily, the video does not describe me but co-dependency, without all the labels in this video, does seem to described how I was in one relationship long ago, and also someone else close to me. I just happened on this one (thanks UA-cam for directing me here, there any everywhere :) )
    Anyway, does Rosenberg have some good ideas to help lift people out of the conditions that have, along with factors he doesn´t address, lead them to the point of co-dependency? Not here he doesn´t.

    When tackling the root cause of trauma, what if the adult can’t remember the attachment trauma because it happened in utero or before 2 years old? How can they bring this up to examine the root cause a deal with this type of trauma? This is fascinating and insightful btw! Thank you so much!
