Season 2 FINALE - Episode 18 - WTF is Love Addiction with David Greenleaf What I Didn't Tell My Therapist - REBOOT

    • Spiritualität

Can you be " Addicted to Love"?  Sure you can - and according to Robert Palmer, it's great.  But is it though?  Edited down from 4 hours of  discussions spread over 2 days David Greenleaf, Trauma Recovery Specialist and Leela Davis, Creative Wellness coach discuss the pitfalls of what many 12 Step groups refer to as "Sex and Love Addiction."  We discuss our own harrowing tales of Love gone wrong, due to the misfortunes and misunderstandings about healthy relating we learned from our family dynamics.  We point out that "co-dependancy" is a prominent feature in how Western Cultures have trained us to form romantic relationships for both men and women.  We even cover the science of WHY addictions form in the area of romantic and sexual relationships.  And no show would be complete without us sharing a number of different strategies to identify dysfunction in our relationships and learn how to heal ourselves so we can form new healthy relationships.  As David says in the show -
Strap in for a wild ride!"  If the term "love addiction" seemed a curiosity to you before.  You will be able to give a TED talk on the topic by the end of the show, especially if you start digging into the extensive resources mentioned in the episode.
