The 9 Stage Self-Love Deficit Disorder Recovery Model represents the latest thinking and theoretical formulation on codependency, attachment and addiction treatment. This revolutionary model is the backbone for Ross Rosenberg’s internationally recognized work on “The Codependency Cure” and “Self-Love Deficit Disorder.” This innovative paradigm provides the reader with required conceptual information to move beyond Rosenberg’s Human Magnet Syndrome explanation, to the solution for it.

The seminar audience will come to understand the inner workings of a treatment strategy and techniques that were specifically developed for Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD) - Rosenberg’s replacement term for codependency. Each stage represents a linear and sequential element of a treatment process (method) that permanently eradicates SLDD (codependency) while opening up a healing and restorative pathway to “Self-Love Abundance,” otherwise known as the “Codependency Cure.”

In addition to including addictions, CBT, Family Systems, Psychodynamic, Attachment, Trauma, and other notable theoretical frameworks, it also is illustrative of Ross Rosenberg’s original theoretical and practical work. The nine stages inform and directs a treatment strategy that actually resolves attachment trauma, core shame, and pathological loneliness – the core issues/problems of SLDD.

Completing the Nine Stages will result in the shedding of SLDD and the permanent transformation into SLA, Self-Love Abundancy. Once at Stage Nine, the newly transformed SLA will have created a personal and relational identity that is infused with strength, empowerment, and of course, self-love. This recovery work is self-perpetuating; it is virtually impossible to go back. Once an SLD “tastes” self-love, they will develop a lifelong appetite for it!
