Relationship Addiction
Relationship Addiction
I am rereading a book that was referred to my by my therapist years ago called "Leaving the Enchanted Forest-The Path from Relationship Addiction to Intimacy" by Stephanie Covington and Liana Beckett.
From the Book:
"..in addiction the focus is on the significant other, to the detriment of yourself, not because you freely choose this, but because you are unable to say no to that person, being inordinately dependent and fearful of rejection and abandonment."
This in particuliar struck a cord with me:
"...convinced that her partner would treat her differently if only she were lovable enough, she may take complete responsibility for her partner's distancing. A central issue in her life has come full circle: she has recreated her childhood struggle to be loved by her parents, interpreting her inability to get what she needs as a lack in herself. She feels that she must earn love."
If you find that you are attracted to similiar men over and over again, this may be a good book to have as part of your therapy.
