Description

I loved this conversation because time and time again this comes up in the work I do with clients (and it was a pattern in my own relationship). I sat down with Charisse Cooke, who is a London-based relationship psychotherapist with over 20 years experience. She helps individuals, couples and groups develop relationship skills and define love in a way that has meaning for them. 

In this episode we discuss:

• what love addiction is and how we can take the thrill of the chase to extremes


• what happens when we put our partner on a pedestal and have an idealized version of them


• the question “do I love them, or am I just attached?”


• what love is and what love isn’t so we can be more mindful


• how our expectations and past traumas create certain patterns on our relationship

…and more.
