In this video, Ross Rosenberg explains how the term "codependency" came to be, and why it has evolved from an outdated term that connotes weakness and emotional fragility, to a term that takes away the stigma and misunderstanding while focusing on the real problem, "Self-Love Deficit Disorder" or SLDD. This video gives a historical perspective of the term and the problem and the necessity to overhaul it.
