When we think of addiction, most of us go straight to thoughts of alcohol or drugs, but what if I told you that you could be addicted to love? And that Love Addiction can be just as harmful to a person’s life as drinking or drugs?In this week’s episode, I sat down with trauma and addiction specialist Diane Young, to discuss the topic of Love Addiction. Diane outlines clearly the definition of love addiction, where it comes from and the different characteristics that define a love addict’s behaviour.This is a fascinating conversation for anyone who finds themselves attracting the same “type” of person or for those who have difficulty maintaining romantic relationships.To find out more about Diane Young you can visit her website here.You can follow Ash and Behind The Smile on IG here: @ashbutterss or visit Ash's website here.
