Love Addiction Love Avoidance - CD
by Pia Mellody
$30 - Audio
|
This groundbreaking exploration from the author of the best-selling
Facing Codependence and
Breaking Free unravels the intricate and debilitating dynamics of co-addicted relationships.
Mellody clearly outlines the “toxic” patterns played out by love addicts and the unresponsive avoidance addicts to whom they are painfully and repeatedly drawn. She shares personal experience and real case histories that:
- Clarify the distinctions between codependence (how our relationships with ourselves fail) and co-addiction (how our relations with others become unhealthy entanglements).
- Describe how “love at first sight” can be the first step in the addictive cycle of attraction, fantasy, denial and obsession.
- Show how childhood experiences of abandonment or engulfment influence our choices of romantic partners, friends and associates.
- Detail the tango-like way in which addicts activate one another’s primary fears and literally “bring out the worst in each other.”
- Hopefully, compassionately and realistically outline the recovery process.
