In conclusion, if you are one of those bread crumbs accepting SLDs, first, my heart goes out to you. It really does because I know so well what that deprivation, what that hunger feels like. It is extraordinarily painful to get used to being hungry and not complaining about it and eventually forgetting it.
Imagine growing up feeling like you’re only ever given crumbs when you deserve a whole loaf. In this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg uses bread as a powerful metaphor to explain the experiences of those struggling with codependency, or what he terms Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD). Drawing from his vast experience as a psychotherapist, Ross unpacks how early attachment trauma leads individuals to accept mere 'breadcrumbs' of love, respect, care, and trust (LRCT) in their adult relationships.
These individuals often find themselves in romantic entanglements with narcissists who continue to deprive them of the emotional sustenance they need. This leaves them feeling 'full' on crumbs but truly starving for genuine connection. Ross’s compassionate and insightful approach offers listeners a path to recognize their worth and begin their journey toward self-love and emotional wholeness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the effects of childhood trauma and seeking to break free from toxic relationships.
