Healing Heartbreak: Helping Clients Breakup From Addictive Romantic Relationships

Course overview

Going through a painful breakup is a common yet heart-wrenching experience that often brings people to 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 cant seem to get over their ex, conceptualizing and treating their symptoms through an addictive framework can be incredibly helpful. This webinar, Dr. Cortney Warren will discuss romantic love and breakups as an addictive process and how its affecting our clients over all well being.
