Podcast where Sherry  talked about the love addict side coming from fantasy

Adi Jaffe is a best-selling author, highly sought-after speaker, and nationally recognized expert on mental health and relationships. He was a UCLA lecturer in the Psychology department for the better part of a decade and was the Executive-Director and Co-Founder of one of the most progressive mental health treatment facilities in the country - until he started IGNTD. During his undergraduate career at UCLA, Adi struggled with drug issues and was immersed in the drug-dealing world in Los Angeles. He used his challenges to turn it all around and now has a tool to connect with others and help them find their own inspiration and power. He speaks with us today about his relationship with addiction, intimacy, and building trust within himself and others. Adi gives his expert advice on overcoming shame and leaning into mental health and wellness, and resources on how to further explore his cutting-edge and powerful programs.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Sherry and Carla may have the same birthday and a lot of other similarities, but they find one glaring difference — Carla is a cat person and loves their independent nature, and Sherry will take all the slobbery, excitable dogs. Which one are you?
• A Love Fix Question about how to support a needy friend while still setting and maintaining your own boundaries.
• Adi talks openly about his addiction to meth and arrest that eventually led to his rock bottom moment of reckoning. He also explains why he defines addiction as a syndrome rather than a disease, and the four factors that come heavily into play.
• Adi’s IGNTD program shows others that it’s never too late to change your path and work towards healing and redemption, along with resources from Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence.
• We talk with Adi about how addiction and issues with intimacy and sexual addiction go hand in hand, and how his harm reduction model doesn’t always call for abstinence as the answer.
• Adi opens up about the ups and downs in his own relationship, and how he and his wife worked through things, built trust, and now have a quicker and more direct path to conflict resolution.
• Our advice for someone whose partner is not willing to do the work.
• Adi’s book The Abstinence Myth is a new approach for overcoming addiction without shame, judgement, or rules.

Tweetables:

• “When you find something you are passionate about, it changes the world.” - Adi
• “For all of us, the work is internal. We all have to work on ourselves, but not everybody does.” - Adi

• “If someone doesn’t want to be with you and they make it clear, they are giving you a gift. They are allowing you to untangle yourself from something keeping you anchored.” - Adi

We kick off the episode with Sherry’s secret behind that Fountain of Youth looking glow. Then, we are joined by Lisa Ferentz, clinical social worker, author, and psychotherapist who has been in private practice for over 30 years. Lisa is an expert on helping people transcend trauma and toxic relationships to find their self-worth and inner sense of power. We talk with Lisa more about how to recognize a narcissist, why victims of abuse are not cowardly or weak, and why codependent people tend to rush into one destructive relationship after another. Lisa also provides some of her great resources for realizing the power you hold within yourself and letting go of self-destructive behaviors.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• A Love Fix Question about “dating yourself”!
• Why codependency and self-destructive relationships go together, and what keeps someone in the cycle of self-sabotage.
• Lisa’s workbooks and resources that help foster positive self talk, self compassion, and positive self care.
• The more independent we become, the more we focus inward and rely less on trying to focus outward and change others. 
• It takes a lot of courage for someone to leave an abusive or codependent relationship.
• Abusers tend to make their victims feel isolated and dependent, which further takes away their ability to find the resources needed to break away.
• Why codependent people have to really work at not getting into another relationship right away.
• How trauma can affect us differently based on the meaning and power we choose to give it.
• A glimpse into the brain of a true narcissist, and a surprising fact about just how many people in our society have narcissistic tendencies!
• How attachment, connection, and empathy for a narcissist just may not be possible, and if this is a result of nature, nurture, or both.
• Oftentimes, a codependent and narcissist will find each other and have a relationship that feels like a coexistence rather than a true intimacy.
• Men can be victims as well.
• It takes a tremendous amount of courage and support to be able to step away from a toxic or abusive relationship.

Tweetables:

• “When you are in a codependent relationship, there is a real loss of a sense of self.” - Lisa
• “There is a reason why Bumble banned men taking mirror selfies on their app.” - Lisa
• “When you are in an abusive relationship, you are alone” - Lisa

We are so thrilled to welcome John Gray to The Love Fix this week, as we are sure many of you grew up and are very familiar with his work including his bestselling book, Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus. John talks about how he has built upon his ideas in the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time to reflect our current society and what has changed since he last wrote it.

• Why codependent women get turned on by the wrong men and continue to fall into the cycle of picking the wrong partners.
• Radical acceptance and not being attached to being always right in our conversations is sexy!
• Culture should nurture our nature.

Welcome to the first episode of The Love Fix! We are your hosts, Sherry Gaba, LCSW and Carla Romo. We are here to show you that love doesn’t suck and share how our own dating and relationship horror stories led us both to be experts in healing from codependency.

• A Love Fix question from someone with a raging partner. Is it a red flag she is trying to turn green?
• Nancy Levin is a master coach and best selling author. Her book Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free and Levin Life Coach Academy programs came from her mastering boundary setting in her own life.

• Why setting boundaries is important and necessary.
• How to know if you are slipping back into perfectionism and what to do when you have a boundary relapse.

• Why it is a waste of time to try and uphold your own boundaries while in a deep relationship with a narcissist.
• Some examples of boundary scripting.

• “It’s not anyone else's job to uphold, honor or respect our boundaries. It’s up to us.” — Nancy

We kick off this week with a Love Fix question regarding how to know if you are a love addict, codependent, or both. Then, we welcome Briana MacWilliam, a licensed and board-certified creative arts therapist, coach, and author. We talk with Briana about what anxious attachment and avoidant attachment looks like in relationships, and how we can learn to embrace our own attachment style best instead of trying to run away from it. Briana shares the interesting nature of her work, truly using tools such as cognitive reframing, body work, and creativity to strengthen the mind, body, and spirit. Briana also shares how to enroll in her online courses for the chance to dive into even deeper work.

• Anxious attachment can come out in ways where people both reach out to and reject love.
• How intergenerational patterns and our epigenetics can play a role in our anxiety and trauma.
• Anxious attachment can be codependent, but so can avoidant.
• Healing is a process and it’s more like a steady climb rather than a one day walk up a mountain.
• Briana uses a holistic approach for mind, body, and spirit activation. She uses creativity to bridge the mind and the body and to release negative energy.
• If it’s possible to change your attachment style, or if you should try to just work through it.
