RRRA Lesson 3 - Relationship Addiction

If I am not content alone, I will never be content with another person. Relationship Addictions are toxic patterns that must be unlearned. This lesson will explore trauma bonding, loving bombing, pseudo-loyalty, and enmeshment. Disentangling from a toxic relationship will be messy and may take an act of congress. Your superpower will be placing firm boundaries and standing your ground. Self-evaluation tools will include a relationship addiction evaluation, stuck evaluation, and how to escape the relationship addiction cycle. We will also look at terms like euphoric recall and romanticizing the past that keeps us returning with false hopes. Another exercise will be to make a trouble list of toxic behaviors and setting a level from 1-10 on the confusion in the relationship.
