Origins
Needs are often unmet in childhood in which person a person is rewarded for responsibilities beyond their current development level. They may need to take on care-giving or parental role in order to receive affection or avoid neglect or abuse. They may feel good about these contributions to the family and thus patterns of overachieving and undervaluing self begin to take root.
The person may develop a pattern of perfectionism or control in order to meet the demands of their current environment. Trying harder and harder to measure up, the person often struggles to feel valued, accepted and loved. They may in turn try to control others in order to reduce feelings of anxiety and/ or abandonment. They may find satisfaction in helping others to the point that it is difficult to know their own needs. They tend to take positive traits, such as loyalty and altruism, to the extreme until they are worn out and left out. There is an unmet need for safety and security that is often unrecognized.
