Product Description:


The author of the bestselling Facing Codependence unravels the intricate dynamics of toxic love relationships and shows us how to let go of toxic love. In this revised and updated edition of Facing Love Addiction, internationally recognised dependence and addiction authority Pia Mellody clearly outlines the debilitating 'toxic' patterns played out by love addicts and the unresponsive love avoidants to whom they are painfully and repeatedly drawn.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Who would have thought you could be addicted to love?
What a wonderful and important book this is. For years I wondered why I attracted the same person over and over, though with a different name and face.
