This book has a comprehensive approach to recovery for female sex and love/romance addicts. Very in-depth and compassionately written for women who have any kind of struggle in the area of sexuality or relationships.

This classic book describes the distinct dynamics underlying female sex & love addiction, how women often use sex & romance much like an alcohol uses alcohol – to attain a sense of personal power as well as to escape from pain, ultimately to feel in control. Kasl outlines how women how they can learn to experience their sexuality as a source for love and positive power and sex as an expression that honors the soul as well as the body.

As the title says, this books is about identifying why relationships are unhealthy, and what makes unhealthy relationships attractive. It outlines addictive behavior patterns as well as the link between childhood relationships and later choices.

When love hurts, you may wonder about your choice of romantic partners or risky sexual behaviors. Perhaps, like many others, you’re experiencing the raw pain of an addictive relationship―the kind that’s painful to be in, yet seemingly impossible to leave. A profound sense of emptiness can result. Repeatedly, you may feel pain, anger, and confusion rather than what you truly desire: closeness, warmth, and security. You may feel broken. The more you search for the comfort of closeness and safety, the deeper you sink into the quicksand of despair. As you read through the pages in this book, you will discover what happens when love and sex―our most primitive human needs―becomes a drug.

Change the way you love, breakup with toxic relationships, end the shame spiral, and discover the key to secure, nurturing, and lasting connections.
