How do I stop being dependent in a relationship? Psychologists believe that affective dependence (relational addiction to a person) is not a simple episode of the meanders of loving feelings, but a dangerous path to love dependence. Attachment, excessive passion, and addiction to the other at the expense of self-esteem, fear of abandonment and permanent anxiety are the daily bread of all those who suffer from affective dependence. It has both a somatic nature, due to which physiological dependence on the partner develops, and a psychological nature, caused by the peculiarities of the emotional addict's psyche. Emotional dependence is also an economic, social and personal problem that affects many people. It affects not only the health of emotional addicts, but also their destiny and that of those around them. It has repercussions on daily life and deteriorates social and even professional life. Instead of acknowledging that they have a psychological problem that must absolutely be solved, emotional dependents often tend to promote addictive behaviors (alcohol, drugs, ...) in order to escape suffering. Then it is easy to overcome the emotional addiction and get out of the addiction to the other. All that is needed is a recognition of the problem and a willingness to work on oneself.

"Prodependence," a new psychological term created by Robert Weiss to describe healthy interdependence in the modern world, turns this around. Rather that preaching detachment and distance over continued bonding and assistance, as so many therapists, self-help books, and 12-step groups currently do, prodependence celebrates the human need for and pursuit of intimate connection, viewing this as a positive force for change. Simply stated, prodependence occurs when attachment relationships are mutually beneficial--with one person's strengths filling in the weak points of the other, and vice versa. And this can occur even when an addiction is present

Love addiction manifests in many forms, from Fatal Attraction-type obsessive lust to less extreme but nonetheless psychologically and emotionally harmful forms. The most common of these is staying in a bad relationship because of a fear of being alone-the "I hate you but don't leave me" relationship. In ADDICTION TO LOVE, recovering love addict Susan Peabody explains the variety of ways this disorder plays out, from the obsessively doting love addict to the addict who can't disentangle from an unfulfilling, dead-end relationship. Peabody provides an in-depth and easy-to-follow recovery program for those suffering from this unhealthy and often dangerous addiction and explains how to create a loving, safe, and fulfilling relationship. • A seminal work on unhealthy and obsessive behaviors in love, and how to change behavior to have a positive relationship. This third edition includes a new introduction and revisions to the text throughout. • Some symptoms of love addiction include love at first sight, excessive fantasizing, abnormal jealousy, nagging, and accepting dishonesty. • Even relationships with parents, children, siblings, or friends may be addictive-dependency is not always related to romantic love. • Previous editions have sold more than 40,000 copies. "Love addiction is a three-headed serpent that Susan Peabody adeptly slays. This is the quintessential book for any love addict or counselor needing to fully understand this highly prevalent and complex disorder. Susan detects and dissects aspects of this condition not comprehended in other books of its kind. Recovery is possible.

This book contains clinical cases and personal experiences of patients who learn to recover from their emotional dependence and codependence in their treatment process. Emotional pain is harder to feel and endure than physical pain. Many people are hooked on emotional pain and drama. Emotional dependence is a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual disease which a large portion of our society suffers from. One of its symptoms is codependence, and there is a solution for it. Codependence is a syndrome made up of dysfunctional behavior patterns such as perfectionism, pleasing, manipulating, need for controlling, need for approval, incapacity to take decisions, permissiveness, procrastination and victimhood among others. Codependence entails the belief that we are incomplete. This belief turns us into people with a great need of being needed. We learn to seek love from a place of need and do whatever is necessary to get it. Without self-love we lose our connection to life. There are only gratifications which leave us with anxiety and emptiness. When we become dependent we lose our connection to life and end up having a second-hand life. Originally written in Spanish, this book has been translated to English and Swedish.
