We all want to have healthy relationships, but what does that even look like? Tune in to today’s episode as we compare Healthy Love vs. Addictive Love.
Today we will cover #1-6
1. Healthy love develops after we feel secure. Addictive love tries to create love and connection before we understand who the person is.
2. Healthy love comes from being healthy ourselves , we overflow with love. Addictive love is always trying to fill an inner void.
3. Healthy love begins with loving ourselves, being the partner we wish to have. Addictive love is avoiding looking at ourselves and always seeks to get love from that “special someone”.
4. Healthy love grows slowly overtime, like a tree. It allows us to be vulnerable because we feel secure. Addictive love grows fast, as if by magic, and it’s based on a shaky foundation; we don’t feel secure and are afraid to be vulnerable because we fear rejection.
5. Healthy love thrives on time alone as well as time spent with our partner. Addictive love avoids being alone and needs to always be together or they begin to feel insecure.
6. Healthy love is gentle and considerate. Addictive love is tense and combative.
