Overcoming Dependence: Strategies for Healing from Low Self-regard Syndrome
In a groundbreaking six-hour seminar video titled "Codependency Cure," a renowned psychotherapist shares their latest discoveries about a condition they've termed Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD). This work, born from healing emotional wounds and tearing down personal, emotional, and relational barriers, has become a personal mission for the author.
SLDD, characterised by the absence of self-love and resulting in deeply embedded insecurities, is not just a theoretical concept for the author. It's a real-life issue that affects many, often manifesting as an addiction, with the enthralling emotional drama of dysfunctional relationships serving as the drug.
The author's replacement term for codependency, a term often used in the field of psychology, was inspired by a desire to better understand and address the root causes of this condition. The author renamed codependency to Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD).
SLDD is often linked to attachment trauma, caused by being raised by an abusive or neglectful parent known as a Pathological Narcissist (Pnarc). These individuals, who have one of three personality disorders or an addiction, can cease their narcissistic ways if they do not have a personality disorder and remain sober.
The SLDD/Pnarc dynamic requires two opposite but balanced partners: the pleaser/fixer (SLD) and the taker/controller (Pnarc). SLDD individuals were often raised by a narcissistic parent who flew into fits of rage or depression. To emotionally survive, they learned to become the "trophy," "pleasing," or "favourite" child.
This dynamic can lead to a person's powerlessness to set boundaries or control narcissistic loved ones. Pathological loneliness and the fear of it drive SLDD addiction. The author views their work as a means to heal the trauma responsible for one's self-love deficit and the acquisition of self-love, the antidote to SLDD.
The goal of SLDD recovery is not just about understanding the condition, but about healing and growth. It requires a psychodynamic, family of origin, addictions, and trauma-informed psychotherapist. The author, with 29 years of experience as a psychotherapist, has dedicated their life to this mission, giving numerous radio interviews, writing articles, creating training courses, and providing therapy to those in need.
The author's work is not just theories they like to talk about, but a personal mission they plan to be on for the rest of their life. Men and women are instinctively drawn together by the Human Magnet Syndrome, also known as "chemistry." However, understanding SLDD can help individuals break free from unhealthy relationships and foster healthier, more balanced connections.
