By consuming all of the love, care, respect, trust, and sometimes money and other resources, the SLD becomes drained while the narcissist continues to thrive, as the SLD gives away all that they would otherwise keep for themselves to contribute to their own happiness and well-being.► Visit Self-Love Recovery Institute:https://www.selfloverecovery.com► Listen to the podcast on a...2023-01-1417 minThe Self-Love Recovery PodcastAffective Delay System: The "Freeze-Effect" Caused By Narcissistic AbuseRoss Rosenberg shares another cutting-edge idea that explains a chronic challenge of a person with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (Codependency).

During and after a divorce or separation, covert narcissists will not only attempt to sabotage any chance of a healthy co-parenting dynamic by placing blame, refusing to accept any responsibility, and projecting onto their codependent or Self-Love Deficient (SLD) partner—and parent of their children— but they also traumatize their children in the process, causing attachment trauma, which eventually leads the child to become a future codependent/SLD.► Visit Self-Love Recovery Institute:https://www.selfloverecovery.com2022-12-2918 minThe Self-Love Recovery PodcastCouples/Marriage Therapy Backfires With NarcissistsBecause pathological narcissists have a personality disorder, either narcissistic, borderline, or antisocial personality disorder, they do not believe they have a problem, therefore, they are incapable of taking any responsibility for any wrongdoings in the relationship.
