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.
