Lesbian Love Addiction

Understanding the Urge to Merge and How to Heal When Things Go Wrong

By: Lauren D. Costine PhD

Narrated by: Ann Sprinkle

Love addiction for lesbians comes in many forms. Some struggle by sexually acting out and others are serial relationship junkies, jumping from one relationship into the next. Some are addicted to the high of falling in love and once that wears off don't know how to handle the day-to-day realities of a committed relationship. Some are even addicted to fantasy and intrigue, while others are love avoidants and sexual anorexics. Love avoidants may be able to get into a relationship but once they are fully committed, struggle with feeling smothered. Others may avoid intimate or sexual relationships all together, becoming sexually anorexic. Some may even vacillate between all of these. The underlying component and common denominator in all of these scenarios is the "Urge to Merge."

Lesbian Love Addiction: Understanding the Urge to Merge and How to Heal When Things go Wrong is designed to help ameliorate at least part of this problem. It will give those who struggle with and suffer from love addiction ways to understand, cope, and heal from this debilitating addiction. It will give those who work with this population new tools to use to do this more effectively. Mostly, it will help lesbians understand their relationship failures and how to heal from problems associated with them, so they may grow and cultivate happier, more fulfilling connections in the future.

This has been the most helpful book I’ve read so far on love addiction

I have read at least 10 books about love addiction and this is by far the best one. As a lesbian it was very insightful and helpful. I truly appreciate that there is a book for lesbians with love addiction.
