Love addiction isn’t just an emotional craving—it’s a full-body experience that hijacks your nervous system. When you’re caught in the love addiction cycle, every interaction with the person you’re attached to feels like a hit of dopamine. A text, a glance, or a moment of affection floods you with euphoria, while any hint of distance sends you spiraling into withdrawal. This isn’t just in your head; it’s your body reacting to inconsistent love the same way an addict responds to a drug. The highs are intoxicating, and the lows are devastating, keeping you trapped in an obsessive loop of chasing connection and fearing abandonment. What is love addiction? It’s when your brain and nervous system become wired to seek emotional intensity rather than stability—leaving you unable to walk away, even when you know the relationship is unhealthy.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in love, it’s not because you’re weak or desperate—it’s because your nervous system has been conditioned to crave the emotional rollercoaster of limerence. This deep, obsessive infatuation isn’t just about attraction; it’s about your brain becoming addicted to the unpredictability of the relationship, much like a gambler hooked on a slot machine. Every small reward—an unexpected text, a moment of warmth—triggers a dopamine surge, reinforcing the need to keep chasing their attention. But when they pull away, your system crashes into anxiety and despair, leaving you desperate to get that next emotional fix. The cycle repeats, making it feel impossible to break free. Recognizing these signs of love addiction is the first step to healing, but true freedom comes from rewiring your body’s response to love itself.

To overcome relationship addiction and stop using love as an emotional escape, you have to heal the nervous system patterns keeping you hooked. This means learning how to self-regulate so love is no longer about intense highs and lows but about stability, safety, and connection. Instead of waiting for external validation, you need to cultivate internal security—teaching your body that love doesn’t have to feel like a rush to be real. Facing love addiction symptoms isn’t just about willpower; it’s about retraining your nervous system to recognize that healthy love feels calm, not chaotic. When you break free from the cycle of addiction, you stop chasing love like a drug and start experiencing it as something truly nourishing—a secure, steady presence that enhances your life rather than consuming it.

In my years as a self love coach, I’ve guided my clients from every possible heartbreaking scenario and breakup, and given them the tools they need to heal their trauma and learn the discipline of self love, so they can embody their most true, authentic and confident self!

As a woman I think my love addiction has a huge hormonal part too. Some weeks of the month the addiction is really strong, then it cools down, before it rises and becomes stonger again...

I am a widower. Was happily married over 35. I Kissed my fist female friend other that my wife in 36 years. Unfortunately, she moved 1500 miles away with her job. Yes, I saw 3 shrinks and moving forward. Blessings to you ladies. There are males that also want to be loved!

I’m in serious trouble. 😢 I stayed away from men for about five years because of this. I felt great. Now I’m with someone who is unavailable and I’m falling off the cliff again. It’s definitely limerence. The worst thing he’s my landlord at my office. So I run into him all the time.

I truly have to say. Your videos have helped me through the worst / most painful breakup with a covert narcissist.
I’ve never knew how to feel this, I knew it logically. Please keep sharing. You’ve literally saved my heart and soul ❤

Speaking from the nurture phase at the minute: lots of house painting, investing in creating beautiful spaces. Holding a space against the drive to be ‘busy’ around another person, usually a damsel in distress or broken wing type. I have a photo of my young self on my phone and just give it some love when I feel that anxious attachment energy rising.

I am finding that detox needs space to feel the feelings and solitude, self-care. Gentle times in sunshine. Music and coffee and dog walks and lots of journaling, mostly in voice. ChatGPT is a good space to process, but I have done a lot of in-person therapy also.

Yesterday was a watershed moment where I prevented the 13 year-old from grabbing the wheel and crashing us back on to Hinge 😂 love your work and appreciate all that you do 🙏🏻

[Nadamas]

Yes very helpful Amy! This is me. I will check in on a group call.
