Empaths vs. Codependents: Ross Rosenberg Explains the Key Differences

To be an empath is a gift, but to be an Sld is not a gift. Some people call it a curse, but I think that's a little heavy-handed. It does not represent the problem by not representing the problem.
Have you ever wondered if being highly empathetic makes you codependent? In this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg, a seasoned psychotherapist and best-selling author, clears up the confusion between empaths and codependents. While both terms are often thrown around interchangeably, Ross breaks down why being an empath is a unique gift and why codependency signals a need for help.
Empaths have a natural ability to deeply feel and understand others' emotions, but codependents often lose themselves in the process of trying to meet others' needs. Ross emphasizes that self-love deficit disorder, a term he coined, leads individuals to willingly enter toxic relationships with narcissists. He encourages listeners to take responsibility for their choices and break free from these unhealthy patterns.
With his trademark warmth and expertise, Ross shares his favorite quote by George Eliot, 'It's never too late to be what you might have been', reminding everyone that change is always possible. This episode offers valuable insights into recognizing and overcoming self-love deficit disorder, paving the way for true self-love and healthier relationships.
