The Human Magnet Syndrome

“The Human Magnet Syndrome,” by Therapist Ross Rosenberg, Describes the

Dysfunctional Pairings of Codependents and Emotional Manipulators,

and Introduces the Continuum of Self Theory

Since the first romantic kiss, men and women have been magnetically and irresistibly drawn into romantic relationships, not so much by what they see, feel and think, but more by an invisible and irresistible force.

When emotionally healthy people meet, the result is often a loving, reciprocal and stable relationship. However, when Emotional Manipulators and Codependents meet, they are enveloped in a magnetic and seductive “love force;” it begins like a fairy-tale, but later unfolds into a painful “seesaw” of love/pain and hope/disappointment. The soul mate of the Codependent’s dreams becomes the Emotional Manipulator of his/her nightmares.

A new book, “The Human Magnet Syndrome, Why We Love People Who Hurt Us,” is a useful resource for people who desire a satisfying, life-long relationship with the romantic partner of their dreams. It provides compelling explanations for why patient, giving and selfless individuals (Codependents) are inexorably attracted to selfish, controlling and narcissistic partners (Emotional Manipulators) -- and why these pairings develop into long-term, dysfunctional, hurtful relationships.

Books will be for sale following the talk, for anyone interesting in learning more.
