Love is supposed to be the prize, so why is it so painful? Armand DiMele unpacks the psychology of neediness in relationships, arguing that desperation itself can poison a partnership. Drawing on Albert Pesso, Co-founder of Pesso Boyden Therapy, he explores how men and women become needy at different stages, how betrayal trauma differs from fear-based PTSD, and why the drive to make a relationship work can doom it.

Unmet childhood needs quietly drive adult relationship failures. Armand and Portia Franklin, a New York psychotherapist trained in the methods of Albert Pesso, Co-founder, Pesso Boyden Therapy, walk through five core needs: place, support, nurturance, protection, and loving limits, and explain how their absence gets re-enacted with partners who can never truly fill them.
