Codependents Mistake Breadcrumbs For a Piece of Bread

In this episode, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, uses bread as a metaphor for love, respect, care, and trust (LRCT), to explain why codependents or Self-Love Deficients (SLDs) are raised in such a way to accept “breadcrumbs” of LRCT and not feel deserving or worthy of a full “piece of bread.”

After a childhood in which the SLD develops attachment trauma, they develop romantic relationships, often with pathological narcissists, who continue to deprive them of LRCT and further strengthen their gaslit beliefs that they are not deserving of having the LRCT reciprocated. As a result, the SLD reassures themselves they are “full” despite only receiving “breadcrumbs,” but the reality is, they are “starving.”
