Love Addiction

Listen to my Ujima radio interviews on Sex & Love addiction.

Love addiction focuses on love as the solution to inner pain, loneliness and emptiness by creating relationships or romance which are consuming pastimes.

Someone has said that “The chief cause of unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want at the moment”.

In William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”, Duke Orsino is upset that his courtship attempts with Olivia is not going well and asks for an abundance of love so that he will lose his appetite. He says:  

“If music be the food of love, play on;

 Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die.”

Mostly seen in women, the Love addict has very intense emotions including anger, fear, hate and love for the other person. At its root hides issues of childhood insecure bonding and attachment to a significant carer (often a mother). In all respects it is an Addiction which requires treatment in therapy.
