The soulmate of your dreams doesn’t have to be the cellmate of your nightmares.

By Ross Rosenberg and Lisa Romano
Difficult relationships can be devastating. And once you exit one, you want to make sure you don’t head right into another. Banishing fear and finding courage to heal or recover from codependency can lead the way to happier, healthier, more fulfilling relationships, and perhaps help to find—and keep—the partner of your dreams. Psychotherapist and Good Men Project author Ross Rosenberg now refers to codependency as Self-Love Deficit Disorder, and he has done a great deal of work helping clients break the cycle of codependent attachments. According to Ross, “the replacement term, ‘Self-Love Deficit Disorder’ or SLDD takes the stigma and misunderstanding out of codependency and places the focus on the core shame that perpetuates it.” Inherent in the term itself is the recognition of the core problem of codependency, as well as the solution.
On February 13, Ross Rosenberg and a professional colleague, Lisa Romano will be presenting together at the webinar Banishing Fear: Finding the Courage to Heal from Codependency, in which they will share their cutting-edge relationship discoveries and information while interacting with each other and webinar participants. According to Lisa, her primary aim in her work is to “assist people conquer their limiting, unconscious beliefs about self; the ones they were programmed to believe when they were little and impressionable.” In the webinar, Ross and Lisa will be focusing on how and why fear and anxiety is enemy number one to successful codependency recovery and one’s ability to find healthy and lasting true love.

I am so confused. I thought Ross recently said that ““Codependency” is an outdated term that connotes weakness and emotional fragility, both of which are far from the truth.” Which is it?
