EP37: A Case of Cathexis

In love addiction we often feel like we're in love, but is it really love? And what is genuine love, anyway? In this episode, Jodi discusses the concept of cathexis--the thing we often confuse with genuine love--and the role it played in her love addiction. She also shares a recent painful experience that forced her to slow down in order to examine (and accept) reality, and to embrace the grief that came with all of it.    Music by JD Pendley
