About this episode
Ross Rosenberg shares another cutting-edge idea that explains a chronic challenge of a person with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (Codependency). His "Affective Delay System" concept explains how and why SLDs (codependents) experience intense anxiety and fear in situations that don't warrant such a reaction. According to Rosenberg, these adults were once children whose "Affective Delay System" defended them from the harmful and erratic narcissistic parent. What worked for them as a child is dysfunctionally counterproductive as an adult.
