Programme Steps

STEP 12

1 – Traumatic Symptoms of Love Addiction

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do…

Eleanor Roosevelt

Workbook Recommendation

Having watched this video I recommend you read the section starting with the chapter called “How long did it take you to get through this Helen?” which you will find on pages 54 to 66.

2 – Recognising how you have responded

Reflecting on the video above. How much have you related to each of the symptoms of Love Addiction? Feel free to write things down in your notebook.
- Panic
- Love Withdrawal – like drug withdrawal
- Anxious Attachment
- Obsession
- Fixation
- Insecurity
- Feeling bereft with loss
- Heartbroken
- Lovesick
- Chronic Vulnerability
- Intense Sense of Rejection
- Possessiveness & Jealousy
- Dysfunctional Communication
- A Desperation to be Heard and Understood
- Idealizing
- Attachment Hunger – Clinging
- Worthlessness
- Powerlessness
- Chronically Low Self Esteem
- Loss of Reality
- Game Playing
- Fantasy/Denial
Which of the above have you experienced?

Choosing just one example, if you were to meet someone who was also experiencing the same symptom, what would you tell them? What would you share with them?

In a minute close your eyes and picture the two of you, in a safe place, having a relaxed conversation as two friends.

Allow the conversation to flow naturally and within your imagination notice what comes up as you discuss with them this particular symptom, which up till now has been a problem for you.

Close your eyes…

It is also wise to have face-to-face grief counselling or relationship therapy as this programme is by no means the absolute cure for the acute despair one can experience at this devastating time. If you are experiencing: panic, depression, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, anxiety or separation distress, it is vital that you also make an appointment with your local General Practitioner; this can be coupled by seeing a therapist or psychoanalyst in your local area.
Guarantee:
I am confident that this programme will help you to find your way past the devastating experience of lost love and sadness.
Provided you take the time to go through the therapeutic workbook and 6 eBooks on how to survive a broken heart, love withdrawal following heartbreak, which is woven around my own personal story and all the videos and guided journeys to alleviate anxiety symptoms.
If you have done this and you are still unhappy, I will give you your money back with no questions asked.
