Codependency No More! Introducing Self-Love Deficit Disorder

SELF-LOVE DEFICIT DISORDER – SLDD
“Codependency” is an outdated term that connotes weakness and emotional fragility, both of which are far from the truth. The new term should recognize the problem with which all codependents struggle: a deficiency of self-love. Without it, they are perpetually and hopelessly attracted to pathological narcissists. With great pride, I would like to introduce “Self-Love Deficit Disorder!” It is time to take the disgrace out of the name of Codependency and place the focus on the shame that perpetuates it.
