Codependency Co-Addiction - The Dance The "dance" of codependency requires two people: the pleaser/fixer and the taker/controller. This inherently dysfunctional dance can only happen with one partner who is a codependent and another partner who is a narcissist (abuser or addict). Codependents do not know how to emotionally disconnect or avoid significant relationships with individuals who are selfish, controlling, and harmful to them. They find partners who are experienced with their dance style: a dance that begins as thrilling and exciting, but ends up rife with drama, conflict, and feelings of being trapped.

 Ross Rosenberg writes:Subject: The Dance I am glad the article was useful. I wrote it to be used in my practice. It appears that when a complicated subject is put into analogous or metaphoric terms, the concept then sinks in. Everyone knows about dancing! It does take two people to do it (well or badly). Best of luck! Ross Comment provided October 14, 2009 at 10:44 am

Subject: codependency co-addiction - the dance
I used this article in our outpatient D&A group today. This program is for welfare recipients with mostly high school educations. The paper was well written, easy to read and understand. They got a lot our of the article.
Thank you
