Hey, you serving listeners. This is chapter three in my deep dive on dependent personality disorder.

0:06.0

This episode is just for patrons of the podcast, but I'm going to have a little intro here.

0:10.9

Today's chapter, I'm going to talk about, I think it's going to be the final chapter, I'm going to talk

0:15.0

about outcomes of dependent personality disorder, like what happens, like what relationship problems

0:20.8

people have with it, that sort of thing, victimization of others, victimization by others.

0:26.0

I'm going to talk about the history of the construct, I'm kind of in brief, I'm kind of not,

0:32.1

and I'm going to talk about the treatment. But first, I want to give you the third example,

1:37.0

She had terribly low self-esteem, she had complex PTSD, she sometimes thought about suicide,

1:44.8

every day at some point an invasive thought would invade her brain that she was worthless and

1:50.3

no one would ever love her. She tried hard in school, though. Other students saw her as the teacher's

1:56.6

pet. She would stay after school and talk with the teachers, and she did whatever they asked

2:02.2

to her to do. She felt safe with the teachers, much more so than she did with her peers.

2:08.8

As an adult, she struggled in relationships. She often found herself with abuse of partners,

2:14.9

and she would stay way too long in those relationships. When friends told her to leave,
