The Flight from Intimacy
Healing Your Relationship of Counter-Dependence — The Other Side of Co-dependency
Authors: Janae B. Weinhold, PhD & Barry K. Weinhold, PhD
Overview
Most of us have heard of co-dependency, but few realize there’s another side to the same coin: counter-dependency. In many relationships, one partner struggles with co-dependent issues while the other avoids intimacy through counter-dependent behaviors. This powerful book uncovers the hidden roots of counter-dependency and provides practical tools for healing.
Drawing from decades of clinical practice, Janae and Barry Weinhold show how unfinished developmental processes from childhood resurface in adult relationships. These unhealed wounds keep people at arm’s length emotionally—appearing confident and self-sufficient on the outside, while feeling insecure and fearful on the inside.
Through self-inventories, writing exercises, and relationship tools, The Flight from Intimacy helps both partners recognize destructive patterns, work through conflict, and transform relationships into safe spaces for growth and intimacy.
Signs of Counter-Dependency
Do you (or your partner) often…
- Avoid closeness with others?
- Insist on being right all the time?
- Appear strong but resist asking for help?
- Overwork, yet never feel finished?
- Expect perfection from yourself and others?
- Struggle to relax or be vulnerable?
If so, you may be experiencing counter-dependency—the little-known flip side of co-dependency.

- Learn the developmental roots of counter-dependency
- Understand why it damages intimacy and partnership
- Use conflicts as opportunities for healing and growth
- Develop healthier patterns of closeness and trust
- Support loved ones who struggle with counter-dependency
