IoPT, the Helper Syndrome, and the Danger of prolonged Dependence "The helper syndrome creates new dependencies by transferring unresolved relationships with parents to the therapist-client relationship. […] IoPT provides the traumatological explanation for this survival strategy, which today affects large sections of society with effects that are quite the opposite of actual ‘help’." "This entanglement prevents constructive, nealthy relationships. The symbiotic txation on the mother/tather makes fulfilling relationships impossible, because there is no substitute for a mother's love." "The unmet need for that missing love of one's mother/father is - if not resolved - nevertheless seeking this love to be received from other persons (e.g. therapists, coaches, clients, caregivers etc.) or institutions (e.g. communities, groups)." https://iopt.no/iopt-the-helper-syndrome-and-the-danger-of-prolonged-dependence/
