Ross's New Video- Escaping, But Not Learning: Codependent Threshold Reactors

Ross Rosenberg, M. Ed., LCPC, CADC

In this podcast, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed, LCPC, CADC, discusses Codependent Threshold Reactors as a type of codependent personality characterized by intense emotional reactions and a tendency to overreact to perceived threats or slights. They often have a hair-trigger temper, quickly becoming angry and defensive when their boundaries or needs are unmet. This can lead to explosive outbursts, hurtful words, and damaging behavior. In relationships, Threshold Reactors may become overly attached and clingy, seeking constant validation and reassurance from their partner, which can create a toxic cycle of codependency. A fascinating topic!
