Emotional symbiosis is when an individual has the limited capacity to be aware of, respect, appreciate, and comprehend the subjectivity of another. This occurs in the phase of early development when a child is completely dependent, and both physically and emotionally closely bonded with their mother.[1] Emotional symbiosis is a very common occurrence as it originates from the early childhood treatment of babies.
