Love Addiction: Embracing Obsessive Longing

Love addiction is a complex emotional state characterized by an overwhelming obsession with the object of one's affection.

Exploring the link between inner security and relationship security through attachment theory and boundaries.

Trying to break the habit of “people-pleasing”? It’s time to release the weight of always putting other peoples’ needs above your own.

Do you and your partner keep fighting about the same thing over and over again? Most likely you’re dealing with a perpetual problem.

Deciding when to trust is hard, and finding the balance between when to or not to extend trust is essential to protecting your well-being, safety, and ability to fully thrive in your relationships.

Re-entering the world of dating can be “intimidating.” However, it also has the potential to be really exciting. If you have experienced the butterflies that come with connecting to someone special, you know what I mean. But sometimes this excitement can take over into something bigger - fantasy. So, how do we enter into the world of dating without falling into fear or fantasy?

Do you feel “crazy” or “needy” for wanting to be closer to a friend with whom you already have a strong foundation? Or, do you feel frustrated due to another’s “unreasonably high” expectations on you and your time? Luckily, attachment theory can provide some insight into your relational needs.

There are two theories that set themselves apart when it comes to couples therapy: The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This is not just our opinion - the effectiveness of both methods has been demonstrated through extensive research.

Emotionally focused therapy can help you and your partner heal from emotional hurt in your relationships. How? It starts with learning to recognize your needs for secure connection and how those needs drive your interactions.

We sing about it in songs, cry about it in movies, and search for it our whole lives. Billboards advertise it and magazines flaunt tips or tricks to achieve that perfect romance. Let’s face it: we all love love.
So how do we know if we have crossed the line into a love addiction?
