Have you ever heard someone referred to as a “people-pleaser,” or “co-dependent”? Adults with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) learned very well as children what it meant to “not need” anything—to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. Childhood strategies for managing CPTSD may show up in our adult relationships. The childhood strategies of learning to not need anything, of scrambling to be supported, and never knowing healthy boundaries, can echo in our adult relationships.

The “father effect” is the umbrella term for the benefits of a paternal presence. ![]()
