The Dance Between Codependents and Narcissists: Can Therapy Really Help? | Epi 147
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why are codependents and narcissists drawn to each other — and what keeps them trapped in the same patterns? In this second part of my conversation with Ross Rosenberg, we explore the “dance” between the giver and the taker, why love can turn into a cycle of control and loneliness, and what therapy can realistically offer. If you’ve ever wondered whether these relationships can change, this clip dives into the psychology behind the attachment, the pathology, and the possibilities for growth.
