Summary
Today I’m sharing with you a fantastic conversation with Ross Rosenberg.
Ross Rosenberg M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, is the owner of Self-Love Recovery Institute. He is a psychotherapist, educator, expert witness and author. Ross is known globally for his expertise in codependency (Self-Love Deficit Disorder), Pathological Narcissism, Narcissistic Abuse and Trauma Treatment.

His “The Human Magnet Syndrome” books sold over 120K copies and are translated into 10 languages. His YouTube Channel has amassed 19 million video views and more than 200K subscribers.
In this episode, Ross shared brilliant insights about responsibility, codependency, children moulded by narcissistic parents, and core shame. We talked about his definition of codependency, and how it was a game changer for so many people after finding an explanation that made sense for them.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- The victim's connection with responsibility and the band-aid therapy
- Ross' journey of dealing with narcissists in his life, and how he managed to overcome his challenges
- How many types of codependents there are according to Ross, and the difference between them
- What is the human magnet syndrome
- What is a relationship template, how it is created, and how it works
Ross’s definition of codependency is revolutionary, because it offers a simple explanation of the condition. After we have an answer, we can make a choice to address the problem and neutralize its cause.
