Are you struggling with feelings of inadequacy or being unlovable despite evidence to the contrary? This episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast might just be the eye-opener you need. Ross Rosenberg introduces the concept of 'emotional dysmorphia,' a term he coined to describe distorted self-perceptions that plague those with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD), commonly known as codependency.
Drawing parallels to body dysmorphia, Ross explains how emotional dysmorphia involves pervasive, negative beliefs about oneself that persist even when others affirm the opposite. These distorted beliefs are often reinforced through abusive relationships, particularly with narcissists. Ross shares his own journey and professional experiences to shed light on this complex issue. He breaks down how these harmful perceptions develop and offers practical advice on how to start reclaiming your true self.
Through engaging anecdotes and relatable examples, Ross makes a compelling case for recognising and challenging these internalised distortions. He encourages listeners to seek feedback from trusted friends or therapists to counteract the negative narratives imposed by narcissistic influences. Whether you're dealing with self-doubt, low self-esteem, or the aftermath of a toxic relationship, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to help you on your path to self-love and recovery.
