Love addiction

Feeling of love or falling in love is a wonderful feeling. The sensation is as if joy is filled with every cell of your body, the heart sings, and the person feels as complete as possible, there is a desire to live, create, communicate, rejoice. But it also happens when a person's feelings are inexplicable. Ill bears that he has gone mad, speaks constantly about the object of his love, demands from the object of passion to spend with him the maximum amount of time, constantly calls and defiantly annoyed without receiving communication;Maliciously responds to the appearance of new acquaintances from the beloved;Totally controls and imposes its own rules of communication. People do not know what to do. It seems to them that it is better to end the relationship, but after parting, they are drawn with renewed vigor to each other, they meet and again suffer. If you understand that it is difficult for you to stay in such relationships and you are not left feeling of suffering, disappointment, then you have a love addiction. Psychologists have paid attention to this state of the last decades.

Love addiction is a love affair or addiction, expressed in a painful addiction to one's object of love or affection.

Psychologists, as well as psychiatrists, attribute a love addiction to this kind of addiction of relationships that are excessively fixed on another person. For such a relationship is characterized by a painful addiction to the object, expressed in love, affection and passion. From such passion, both the adorer and the object of adoration suffers, and much more so.

Who takes up the love addiction? People with low self-esteem often find themselves in it, who have difficulties with correct perception of themselves, as well as positive attitude towards themselves. Since childhood, such people face difficulties in setting personal boundaries of communication and it is very difficult to single out their own framework in the relationship. Such people begin to control others and their control is intrusive, anxious and connected with insecurity. The emergence of love addiction affects the words of parents, excessive hyperope in childhood. For an adult in the future, this will affect the inability and fear of parting with a person with whom, in fact, it is psychologically very difficult to morally. For this reason, parents should support their children and speak only good things, give positive attitudes and give unconditional love.

From love addiction suffer both men and women. It is impossible to single out who is greater. Everything depends on the person.

Such a relationship, where a love addiction enters, is called a co-addictive. These relationships are filled with strong emotions. Emotions are both positive and negative. Soaddictive relationships can arise between a woman and a man, between a child and a parent, and between a person and a really social person( attachment to an actor) or from a virtual world( chat, forum, internet) with whom there were no personal contacts.

Features of the addiction addiction addiction are these moments:

• a lot of time the love addiction devotes its passion and affection is so strong that it gives a positive evaluation to the object of passion

• it becomes noticeable that the love addiction pushed the work of the close, the hobby

• the loveThe addiction is at the mercy of unrealistic experiences, as well as positive expectations in its direction from another person

• Such a plan unrealistic expectations often do not give the sick person aHe does not react to the remarks of his chosen one about the unnecessary idealization of his image, and this, on the contrary, even more evokes the desire to give the object of passion the fantastic qualities of

• the love addiction forgets itself, about its outside of loving relationships, duties, health

• experienceFear, abandonment - the strongest specific emotion for the amorous addiction of

This behavior is associated with increased fantasy, the representation of love scenes. Currently, the love addiction arises when communicating on the Internet, on dating sites. Feelings experienced by force can surpass real ones many times, but as a rule, after a while, there comes disappointment.

In such relations there must be an addiction of avoidance. This is the person to whom the love addiction is directed. The addiction of avoidance tries to pinpoint the intensity of the relationship and spends as much time as possible outside these relationships - work, friends. This is explained simply: protection from a love addiction, fear of loss of freedom and obsessive control, a failed previous experience of love. But I want to note that the addiction to avoidance also worries about the abandonment of his person, which forces him to distance himself in advance in order not to leave him first. The addiction to avoidance is restrained and does not allow such relations to develop in a constructive direction.

At the moment of strengthening of the love addiction, one of the partners becomes persistent, demands constantly is nearby, to solve problems of the beloved. If this does not happen, then a feeling of frustration, anger and discontent develops. And this provokes another to break such a relationship. When the fact of the gap becomes clear, then the love addiction turns into an evil and vindictive, a state of despair and depression occur after the separation. It happens that the relationship has not a good ending - blackmail, threats to life.

In any case, the relationship of love addiction - it is codependence. And as a way out of this relationship is the craze for alcohol( hangover syndrome), obsessive compulsive disorder, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, paranoid schizophrenia, neurosis, psychosis and long-term treatment associated with the above listed diagnoses.

If to approach from the point of view of psychology, then ask yourself the question: do you make this relationship better or not? If yes, and you want to live fruitfully, develop spiritually, share your joy, be kinder, then without a doubt - this is love. But if you are unhappy, you suffer, then you are trapped in the love addiction of

Treatment of addictive addiction

Women often turn to help. It happens that some of the fair sex suffer from the addictions of love all the conscious life, getting out of one and getting into another. Men are also prone to such traps, but less often. This destructive suffering state is akin to drug dependence. Such a feeling can be mutual or not divided, but it is pleasantly dope, as a drug. Often, this dope is taken for true love. The sad experience of this "love" for many without a trace does not pass, so having experienced this, they are forever disappointed in love. Such men categorically forbid themselves to love, shielding themselves from new suffering, explaining to themselves that there is no love at all, it was invented. Then they begin to unconsciously or consciously take revenge on all women: by purposefully falling in love and drawing to themselves, and then suddenly throwing. The addiction of avoidance understands that in the midst of a relationship, one can not be thrown - a woman will become dependent. Then you can go back many times, go away again, thus manipulating and using it as you like.

The most important thing in the treatment of a love addiction is to choose a good psychotherapist. His task is to understand the dynamics of your love addiction, to help correct distorted misconceptions from your childhood. The psychotherapist should help to understand which attitudes about yourself you have taken from childhood and what you are controlling. For example, "I can not do anything," "I'm nasty," "I'm bad," "I'm a failure," "I can not do it."Therefore, the main goal of the therapist will be to raise your self-esteem, return a positive image of yourself and give your personality a purpose.

Treatment of love addiction( addiction) includes such a method as group therapy. The method is good because the members of the group voice their co-dependent relationships, then they project the feelings on the therapist and the participants of the group. All the experienced range of feelings of the members of the group, contributes to the realization of their own experiences much wider, while receiving feedback from the participants. It is important to remember that you can not skip treatment sessions because addiction is an overvalued, very persistent and difficult to control habit with the mandatory onset of a relapse of
