The Face of Female Love Addiction - Sex Therapy Lecture Series: Alex Katehakis

[@bnewcol]

omg, i wrote down everything from this lecture...you held up a mirror to me. I could never categorize before what my problem was, not an alcoholic (but use alcohol to soothe, remove pain and stop thinking) CODA was not a complete fit, but Love Addict is. Thank you for explaining it, my life makes sense now. If only there was an LAA in my area or a therapist well versed in L.A. in my area :-(

as a cisgender man, i still found this video helpful with perspective and insight - so i wouldn't discourage males from watching just because it says "female love addiction" :) thank you!

[@CenterForHealthySex]

Hello Steve! Glad you enjoyed the presentation and found it helpful :)

Very well done & explained! After getting out of the 2. Vers toxic relationship...I must admit that I recognize lots of patterns in myself. Looks like that woman with this traits perfectly fit/ or fall for NPD, BPD, psychopathic or other cluster B personality men. EYEopening video! Thank you!

[@vickersthedoc]

Clear and a great overview to understand self and others. Beautiful! Thank you Alex for the experience of hope in truth.

thanks for posting this series of lecture in your current observations and studies of love addiction. I am currently trying to wake up my eyes to the extent of my dis-associative behaviors many of which I was not cognizant of until watching this video, listening to your citations of other people's work and hearing your personal testament to studying this subject. I was triggered yesterday by a positive interpersonal experience that normally might engender further growth in development in someone who already resolved their trauma, but currently it seems like I have to go on a binge of love and sex fantasy thru internet pornography to get a false sense of cleansing and wholeness that robs a person of the opportunity to use time wisely, not indulge in past grossly degenerative habits ( in some cases masturbation in search of highs) and a total neglect of current responsibilities. I tried to self impose a detox forum for the past 24 hours sensing I was about to enter one of these dis-regulation episodes, but was unable to maintain the period thru which I wanted to subvert all the emotional incongruity by sleeping because I had to wake up and tend to other concerns.

This video is very good and informative. Everythinlike taking

[@nayrikamasjedi7961]

Very good video, I appreciate it. Every point you made was like taking a bullet, lol, but it was good to understand what's going on, thanks!

[@michellesavarese2470]

Wish for explanation of what healthy relationship, love/sex/desirability characteristics are. Thx

[@angelacoleman6580]

There is evidence based research that says genetic components play a big role in BPD. Poor parenting is not always the culprit in BPD.

[@GoldBerryTarot]

I was enmeshed with my father (took care of his emotional needs because BPD mother wouldn’t) but whenever I take an attachment quiz, it’s says I have “anxious/secure” attachment. This doesn’t fit into the schematic you shared and I wonder what you think about that?

[@pinkybene1]

[@szabionody9256]

And if you would treat these women with ssri they would be more emocionaly disregultaed because of elevated norepinephrine (noradrenalin) level.. alprazolam or this kind of benzodiazepines as well..i dont understand this

[@jodiebug1]

I have some love addict characteristics, and I found the presentation helpful, but my god therapists make “healthy” sexuality sound unfulfilling and boring.
