Welcome to Denver Love Addict.com website!

Love addicts go through life with desperate hopes and constant fears. Fearing rejection, pain, unfamiliar experiences, and having little faith in their ability or right to inspire love, they wait and wish for love, perhaps their least familiar real experience.

 

Mature love is about knowing and being known by another person. It is about building intimacy through honesty and the sharing of oneself. Addiction however is the opposite to intimacy. Love addiction is not really about love but is actually running away from real intimacy. Love addiction is rooted in an unhealthy dependency and poor self esteem. It stems from a fear of abandonment and a false sense of identify. It is about holding on to a relationship at all costs regardless of the other person’s needs. LEARN MORE
