The purpose of The Love Addiction Workbook is to provide helping professionals with cognitive and
behavioral assessments, tools, and exercises that can be utilized to treat the root psychological causes
of a love addiction. It is designed to help people identify and change negative, unhealthy thoughts and
behaviors that may have led to a love addiction. The activities contained in this workbook can help
participants identify their triggers that can lead to an addiction to love and teach them ways to overcome
and manage those triggers.
The Love Addiction Workbook will help participants to achieve the following:
- Understand recurring patterns that indicate a love addiction.
- Recognize that they are experiencing a love addiction problem.
- Reflect upon the behaviors that were part of and arose from the addiction.
- Build self-esteem and self-love so they are not so dependent on other people.
- Develop greater self-acceptance and the ability to change ineffective behaviors.
- Understand the triggers for preoccupation with finding the "perfect" person to make
their life whole.
- Learn ways to live a new life without the need to obsess about finding a romantic
partner to "fix" their life.
The Love Addiction Workbook is a practical tool for teachers, counselors, and helping professionals in
their work with people suffering from behavioral addictions. Depending on the person's role using this
workbook and the specific needs of the groups or individuals, the modules can be used individually or as
part of an integrated curriculum. The facilitator may choose to administer one of the activities to a group
or administer some of the assessments over one or more days as a workshop.
