The Flight From Intimacy YouTubes
The Flight From Intimacy YouTubes identify counterdependency as the result of developmental trauma between the age of 9 and 36 months. This trauma prevents the completion of the “pyschological birth” and a child’s emotional separation from his or her parents.The premise of The Flight From Intimacy is that counterdependency is a set of behaviors that can be changed through inner work, by using effective self-healing tools, through conscious, committed relationships, and through therapy.
We correlate developmental trauma with counderdependent behaviors and problems with adult intimacy. We also see counterdependency as a systemic problem. By this we mean that individuals, couples, families, groups, organizations, cultures and nation-states all struggle with intimacy, cooperation and collaboration.
In the YouTubes below, we talk about our developmental approach to healing counterdependency. We also talk about our book, The Flight From Intimacy, which contains many case histories and lots practical activities to help you identify and heal the traumas from your early childhood.

Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap YouTubes
Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap YouTube identifies co-dependency as the result of developmental trauma during the first nine months of life that prevents the completion of the infant-parent bonding process.The premise of Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap radically challenges the prevailing definition of co-dependency as a permanent, progressive, and incurable addiction. Co-dependency is a set of behaviors that can be changed through inner work, by using effective self-healing tools, through conscious, committed relationships, and through self-help groups such as CODA.
Drawing on our decades of clinical work with individuals, couples and families, we correlate developmental trauma with co-dependent behaviors and relationship problems. Co-dependency issues typically involve problems establishing and maintaining boundaries, clinging and dependent behaviors, people-pleasing, and difficulty achieving success in the world. This YouTube talks about our developmental approach to healing co-dependency. It also talks about our book, Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap, contains compelling case histories and practical activities to help you heal your early trauma and transform your self and your primary relationships.
