Therapist Jerry Wise: “The belief that someday I will find someone who will love me in ways I don’t love myself. That’s an immature dependency-needs approach. I’m going to find that special someone who will love me in ways I don’t love myself. You can see the problems in that. It’s a non-achievable goal.”
Guilty!
“The belief that I am not me without you. If I am not me, how am I going to have healthy relationships with others?”
