Episode Overview
- Codependency's origins in alcohol treatment models.

Codependency is not about controlling others; it's about an inability to love yourself.
Ross Rosenberg, the master psychotherapist and author of 'The Human Magnet Syndrome', takes a deep dive into the world of codependency in this eye-opening episode of 'The Self-Love Recovery Podcast'. With his signature blend of warmth and authenticity, Ross challenges the core principles of Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA), arguing that its foundational steps are flawed and potentially harmful to those it aims to help.
He traces the history of codependency, from its roots in the 1950s alcohol treatment models to its popularisation by Melody Beattie in the 1980s. Ross highlights how the term 'codependency' evolved and why he believes the current understanding is misdirected. According to Ross, CoDA's focus on controlling others is a misguided projection of narcissistic traits onto codependents, who are actually struggling with self-love deficits.
He proposes a radical shift in perspective, suggesting that true recovery lies in addressing these self-love deficiencies rather than attempting to control others. Through personal anecdotes and clinical insights, Ross makes a compelling case for rethinking how we approach codependency recovery. Whether you're a long-time member of CoDA or new to the concept of codependency, this episode offers a fresh perspective that could change how you view yourself and your relationships.
Tune in to hear Ross's passionate plea for a revolution in codependency treatment – it might just be the wake-up call you need.
