Explaining codependency and self-love deficit disorder. Terri asks Ross about his "origin story." Ross also explains his redefinition of codependency to self-love deficit disorder. Ross also talks about his Observe Don't Absorb Technique (ODA) and Induced Conversation Technique. He describes what is "love bombing" as it plays out between a pathological narcissist and their prey - the self-love deficient/codependent. He explains why narcissists can't change and, because of this, why, in his Self-Love Recovery treatment program, the SLD's relationship with the narcissist always terminates. He explains the specific definition of codependency and how it has many personality variations.
