Addiction to Love

Overcoming Obsession and Dependency in Relationships

By: Susan Peabody

Narrated by: Randye Kaye

Love addiction manifests in many forms, from fatal attraction-type obsessive lust to less extreme but nonetheless psychologically and emotionally harmful forms. The most common of these is staying in a bad relationship because of a fear of being alone - the "I hate you but don't leave me" relationship.

In Addiction to Love, recovering love addict Susan Peabody explains the variety of ways this disorder plays out, from the obsessively doting love addict to the addict who can't disentangle from an unfulfilling, dead-end relationship.

Peabody provides an in-depth and easy-to-follow recovery program for those suffering from this unhealthy and often dangerous addiction and explains how to create a loving, safe, and fulfilling relationship.

solid information

Narration was a bit blanned but the information and reference material was good. Would read it again for the practical Information.

so enlightening

great information. highly recommend if you think you might have love addictions there are worksheets in the back that help you assess your current relationship with love addiction. the only thing i disliked was the repetitive mentions of god, especially at the end. a lot of people have religious trauma and that word is triggering. using a general term would be better

Fantastic Book for Love Addicts

If you’re looking to find the root causes of your love addiction, symptoms, and easy instructions this is your book. I’ve been in and out of love addiction recovery for many years and for whatever reason this book finally hit home. The stories are great. Be prepared to uncover some truths about yourself and let the healing begin.

Profound

Good book and a good read for anyone wanting to better understand their struggle with obsession in relationships.

Outdated

There has been a lot discoveries in attachment theory. The content is very dated, no wonder it’s free.
