      Topic:

      Going through an excruciatingly painful breakup is a common yet heart-wrenching experience that often leads people to seek mental health treatment. The end of some romantic relationships can be so difficult that clients become hyper-focused on their ex as if they were an addictive stimulus. For example, clients struggling through love-addicted breakups often report obsessively thinking about their ex, craving contact with them, feeling emotionally labile and distressed, and acting in harmful compulsive and impulsive ways. These symptoms can be clinically impairing and negatively affect their quality of life.

      When working with clients who can’t seem to get over their ex, conceptualizing and treating their symptoms through an addictive framework can be incredibly helpful. This webinar is a brief introduction to the latest research on romantic love and breakups as an addictive process.

      Learning Objectives:

      At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

    • Describe the 3 core features of addictive behavior, including love addiction.
    • Describe how and why falling in love can conceptualized as an addictive process from a neurobiological and psychological perspective.
    • Identify 3 primary symptoms of a love-addicted breakup.
