The Caretaker Complex is one of identity which is formed early in childhood when a parent sees her child as an object she owns for her own needs and forces the child to fit into the mold of her expectations.\u00a0 Primarily the mother expects the child to take care of her.\u00a0 As adults, such children continue to serve, take care of, and accommodate other people, often at their own expense.\u00a0 We often meet caretaker-identified people in healing and teaching professions.\u00a0 What brings them to therapy is their inability to have full access to their creativity, and to experience true happiness and pleasure.<\/p>\n

We will explore the formation, development, and treatment of the \u201ccaretaker personality.\u201d\u00a0 The nature of caretakers\u2019 original wound suggests that a crucial task for them is to allow themselves to be taken care of and be able to own and express their needs and wants.\u00a0 We will also discuss the caretaker personality from a historical and cultural perspective and relate it to the state of the Feminine in our patriarchal society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
