Interviewed by John Cooper for his Podcast.

This interview focuses on Ross Rosenberg’s theories about toxic relationship patterns, particularly the Human Magnet Syndrome and Self‑Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD), formerly known as codependency. Rosenberg explains how people with unmet attachment needs and low self‑love are unconsciously drawn to pathological narcissists through intense chemistry, familiarity, and trauma bonding rooted in childhood attachment trauma. The discussion explores how narcissists and self‑love‑deficient individuals often come from the same dysfunctional family systems but adapt differently, and why these relationships feel euphoric at first.

The conversation also examines how concepts such as trauma bonding, limerence, and relationship addiction are frequently misunderstood, why narcissism is difficult to treat in therapy, and challenges myths like “idealize–devalue–discard.” It differentiates types of narcissism and emphasizes that healing begins with accurately understanding these dynamics and rebuilding self‑love in order to break repetitive, painful relationship cycles.
