Breaking Down Love: Understanding Codependency with Ross Rosenberg

Episode Overview

  • Codependency involves giving all your LRCTP (Love, Respect, Caring, Trust, Protection) without receiving it back.
  • Different codependency personality profiles illustrate unique behaviours.
  • Self-love deficit disorder stems from a lack of self-love and healthy boundaries.
  • Healthy relationships require mutual exchange of LRCTP.
  • Seeking help can aid in overcoming codependency and fostering self-love.
To love a person is to practice and be adept at the mutual exchange of love, respect, caring, trust, and protection
In this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg dives deep into the intricate concept of love. Drawing on his well-known theories from 'The Human Magnet Syndrome' and 'Codependency Revolution', Ross breaks down the elements of love into what he calls LRCTP - Love, Respect, Caring, Trust, and Protection.
He explains how codependency often involves a one-sided distribution of these elements, where one person gives all their LRCTP but doesn't receive it in return, yet stays in the relationship due to their unconscious attraction to narcissists. Ross's detailed explanation offers a fresh perspective on understanding love and codependency, making complex psychological concepts accessible and relatable. He also discusses various codependency personality profiles, illustrating how different individuals may exhibit codependent behaviours in unique ways.
The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their relationships and consider whether they are receiving mutual LRCTP. If not, it might be time to seek help and start the journey towards self-love and healthier relationships. Ross's warm and authentic approach, combined with his professional expertise, makes this episode a must-listen for anyone dealing with codependency or narcissistic abuse.
