I love Ross Rosenberg and his theory of codependency/narcissistic relationships. I feel he was a voice in the wilderness with this group of speakers...not on the same page at all.

They’ve clearly haven’t experienced narcissistic abuse. I love how they sugarcoat it.

When I started asking for my needs to be meet and pulled back from fixing everything or running behind my partner he left me for someone else that would cater to him like I did. It’s a slippery slope with narcissistic once you try to hold onto yourself.

She's wrong and clearly doesn't understand NPD. Goal of NPD is to manipulate until codependent lowers his/her standards and self esteem. It's not about communicating about who wants what because the narcissist simply don't give a damn.

[JennyBaty]

These people are all codependents to the core... they don't even understand how evil some of the true narcissist behavior is. (Except for Ross Rosenberg) the poor older lady is clueless!

It could be simply explained as looking at your self worth through other peoples eyes.
You will do anything to get their approval and because you lack self love because you never received unconditional love from your caretakers. The co-dependant eventually gets none of their needs met because they're constantly caring about others needs and approval. This makes them depressed because they put up a false self and numb the feelings that they have needs of their own. Eventually they feel lost, trapped and abandoned.
The cure is self love abundance through resolving your childhood trauma.

I think the Hendrix's are more talking about dysfunctional relationships. The others seem to "get it". Sometimes people just don't "get it" until they've been controlled themselves by a true narcissist. Out of politeness, I'm sure Rossenberg held his tongue. The Hendrix's are famous after all.

[butterflymomma]

This trivializes the narcissistic/codependent relationship. There is so much more to it then this.

[murielmarechal]

You are being very simplistic and ignoring the dangers of being in relationship with a narcissist. ESPECIALLY for a codependent. I cannot believe my ears. How can you encourage such a destructive bond? A narcissist will destroy a codependent partner...invariably.

[emanchaparro]

One thing I see ignored in all this is that codependency isn't reserved for a relationship couple sexual etc... Sometimes you can be codependent with a child etc...

[Ad-Lo]

Dumbing it down and making it sound so PC and child-friendly as opposed to REALISTIC and applicable, is terribly damaging. To narcissists and codependents.

[christinebuckingham]

They are discussing couples lacking in basic communication skills and need guidance to obtain them. To tack on the labels of Co-dependent and Narcissist to this discussion is extremely misleading and causes further harm to the Co-dependent.

This is my kind of party. I wanna be friends with all of you!
