Interesting post, thanks sfgirl. I certainly have counterdependency traits. I'm working on accepting intimacy (along with sobriety), I've been emotionally shut down for too long. I've just started this process with a psychologist, so it's all very new to me and I'm not equipped to offer advice (just empathy).
The literature you linked to says that childhood abuse is a factor in counterdependency, just as neglect is a factor in codependency. This leads me to wonder whether co and counterdependency are related to attachment disorders as many of the behaviours and attitudes are similar.
