Brenda Schaeffer

The focus of this site is to foster an understanding of love and love addiction. It is intended to help you identify the characteristics of healthy love and addictive love and free you to live life more abundantly. As you will learn, real love is not addiction, nor is addiction love. Yet, these two experiences can come together and result in tremendous pain and suffering. My hope is that you will find at least one piece of information here that impacts your love life in a meaningful way. This site is not intended to cure specific problems. However, with increased awareness, we can begin to solve relationship problems with more compassion and with lasting effect. My hope is that this site gives you a few more pieces to life's puzzle. Let me know if and how it helps you.

The completely updated and expanded edition of the best-selling book that changed the way we think about romance and intimacy! Includes new information on the biology of addiction, impact of technology on relationships, and new chapters on sex and romance addiction.

"Brenda Schaeffer is one of those gifted recovery writers whose works someday will be regarded as classic." Patrick J. Carnes

"Her recommendations for healthy belonging are right on. An enthusiastic thumbs up!" Jennifer Schneider, M.D.
