Love Addiction (Spencer Draft)
This course offers an in-depth exploration of love addiction as a process addiction — not simply a relationship issue, but a cycle rooted in childhood trauma, low self-worth, fantasy, and emotional dependency. Through teaching, personal stories, clinical insights, and guided assignments, participants will uncover how love addiction forms, the risks of leaving it untreated, and how recovery is truly possible.
Participants will learn to recognize destructive relational patterns, set healthy boundaries, and build self-worth from the inside out. The course offers a clear path forward through integrated recovery tools including journaling, inner child work, spiritual reflection, trauma-informed therapy recommendations, and support group connections.
This is not just a course on relationships — it is a transformational journey back to the self, helping individuals reclaim their identity, worth, and capacity for authentic love.
