'Pathological loneliness is this bone-aching, existential pain that codependents feel when they're not in a relationship',
Pathological loneliness is a bone-aching existential pain that gnaws at individuals with self-love deficit disorder (SLDD) or codependency. In this eye-opening episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed, LCPC, CADC, dives deep into the roots of this condition and its connection to codependency. He likens SLDD to an addiction where the 'drug' is a relationship, and pathological loneliness is the withdrawal symptom.
This visceral pain often drives individuals into unhealthy relationships just to avoid the crushing feeling of being alone. Ross shares his personal experiences and professional insights from over 35 years in the mental health field. He explains how pathological loneliness can break the resolve of anyone trying to escape a narcissistically abusive relationship.
Imagine feeling a constant, gnawing pain in your abdomen, neck, or temples whenever you're not in a relationship - that's what pathological loneliness feels like for those suffering from SLDD. He also touches on the Human Magnet Syndrome, which describes the almost predictable attraction between codependents and narcissists. Ross provides a compelling argument that SLDD is an addiction to relationships rather than to narcissists themselves.
This episode is packed with valuable information and practical advice for anyone struggling with codependency or supporting someone who is. If you've ever felt an intense need to be in a relationship to avoid feeling incomplete or out of place, this episode is a must-listen. Ross's compassionate and straightforward approach will help you understand the underlying issues and offer hope for recovery. So, are you ready to confront your own pathological loneliness and take the first step towards self-love recovery?
