One Broken Mom | The Human Magnet Syndrome: The Codependent Narcissist Trap with Ross Rosenberg

In this episode, Ameé speaks with Ross Rosenberg. He is the owner Owner of Clinical Care Consultants in Chicago and Self-Love Recovery Institute as well as a psychotherapist, trainer, and author who specializes in Codependency, Narcissism, Trauma & Sex Addiction.

He is the author of The Human Magnet Syndrome: The Codependent Narcissist Trap which provides answers to why patient, giving and selfless individuals (codependents) are predictably attracted to self-centered, selfish and controlling partners (emotional manipulators).

In this episode, you will learn:

What is co-dependency or self-love deficit disorder? What are the signs?

Can you be “sometimes” co-dependent – that is, exhibit the characteristics more so with certain people and not with others?

Are you turned into a co-dependent by a bad partner or is this something we’ve had in us all along that is pulled out once the conditions are right?

What is "chemistry"?

How do you counsel people who are constantly choosing or are attracted to the “wrong person” to re-tune or just be made aware of this predilection to certain types of people who are going to hurt us?

How does a man end up in a relationship with a narcissistic woman?

Excellent Interview. I'm a 55 yr old man with a similar history that you (Ameé) described and really resonate with your journey. I, however, am on my 3rd year of self-imposed abstinence and despite much growth, still know that I'm not healthy enough for a relationship. I would like to hear more of your journey. Going to search the videos now. You need to let someone interview *you*. Thanks.

I recommended this book to my friend but she speaks Spanish only. Is there a Spanish version?
