Ross Rosenberg created the metaphor of “The Surgeon General's Warning” to prepare and protect individuals struggling with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD)—also known as codependency—for the emotional costs of their healing journey. Much like the health warnings on cigarette packaging that alert users to the dangers of smoking, Rosenberg's metaphor serves as a cautionary message to those embarking on Self-Love Recovery: profound and often painful losses may be part of the process.As Rosenberg explains, truly committing to recovery—choosing to prioritize self-love, emotional boundaries, and authentic living—often comes at the cost of longstanding relationships. These may include partners, friends, or family members who have been deeply embedded in dysfunctional or imbalanced relational dynamics. As the recovering individual grows stronger, more self-aware, and less willing to tolerate emotional manipulation or neglect, they may find that 50 to 85 percent of the people they once believed loved them either pull away, react negatively, or are no longer compatible with their healthier identity. This reality, if not anticipated, can feel shocking, isolating, and even traumatic.However, Rosenberg emphasizes that while the losses are real and often deeply painful, they are not without purpose or reward. The void left by these relationships creates space for profound personal growth, deep emotional healing, and the development of new, mutually respectful, and emotionally fulfilling relationships. The transition from self-love deficit to self-love abundance not only empowers individuals to feel whole and worthy from within but also draws healthier people into their lives—those who are attracted to their newfound authenticity and self-respect.As Rosenberg puts it, “Falling in love with yourself, and having people like you even more because of it, is a healing force.” This force becomes the emotional anchor that helps individuals withstand the painful but necessary losses that come with letting go of toxic relationships. The metaphorical warning is not meant to frighten, but to prepare and empower. It validates the grief that may arise while reinforcing the truth that what is gained—authentic self-love and deeply enriching relationships—is far more powerful than what is lost.NOW AVAILABLE: THE HUMAN MAGNET SYNDROME WORKBOOK. https://bit.ly/HMS_WorkbookConsider subscribing to Ross Rosenberg's/Self-Love Recovery Institute's new Patreon Subscription, where you can access exclusive content, insights, and services. https://www.patreon.com/RossRosenbergSLRIatreon Support the showABOUT ROSS ROSENBERG Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, is a psychotherapist, educator, expert witness, and celebrated author.

Surgical techniques in gynecology vary widely between surgeons, creating both excitement and frustration for residents trying to learn the "right way" to perform procedures. Howard and guest host Maddie White discuss this and more:• Trocar placement during laparoscopy requires careful consideration of patient factors and potential adhesions• Elevating the abdomen during trocar placement remains standard practice, though definitive evidence on its necessity would require studies of over 100,000 patients• Surgeons should understand power analysis to recognize when studies are underpowered to detect meaningful differences in rare complications• Visceral slide technique using ultrasound can identify adhesions and determine the safest entry point for laparoscopic surgery• Palmer's point may no longer be the safest entry point for many patients given the prevalence of bariatric surgeries• Jain's point (lateral to the umbilicus) may now be statistically safer for many patients with complex surgical histories• Vaginal cuff dehiscence rates are 6-10 times higher with laparoscopic/robotic hysterectomy compared to vaginal approaches• The higher dehiscence rate stems from using energy devices for colpotomy rather than cold scalpel techniques• Barbed sutures simplify cuff closure but don't reduce dehiscence rates compared to standard suturing techniques• Surgery consists of "a thousand little things done well" - mastering these micro-skills distinguishes excellent surgeons00:00:00 Surgical Techniques: Excited and Frustrated00:08:00 Elevation During Trocar Placement 00:17:00 Evidence and Power Analysis00:21:35 Visceral Slide Technique00:35:10 Alternative Trocar Entry Points00:40:10 Cuff Closure and Dehiscence Risk00:51:45 Laparoscopic vs Vaginal Colpotomies01:03:00 First Accredited OB-GYN Residency ProgramFollow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn.

In this engaging session of the Oculofacial Podcast Journal Club, hosted by Dr. Sonja Sipen, a panel of esteemed oculoplastic surgeons reviews a series of cutting-edge studies from the recent OPRS journal. These discussions span several hot topics including the management of subperiosteal abscesses, the potential effects of botulinum toxin on tear production, and innovative treatments for eyelid keloids. Each guest brings their unique perspective, shaped by their geographical practice locations and diverse patient demographics. The episode opens with Dr. Jimmy Sismanis's analysis of a study on subperiosteal abscess management. He discusses the evolution of treatment protocols and the importance of multidisciplinary approaches, especially in pediatric cases, pointing out that newer data is crucial for contemporary practice. Transitioning to aesthetics, Dr. Jordan Conger examines a compelling paper on how botulinum toxin injections for facial rejuvenation may inadvertently affect tear production. Despite the findings suggesting a statistically significant reduction in tear production, the clinical consequences remain minimal.
