How to Break Your Addiction to a Person: When—and Why—Love Doesn’t Work
Author: Howard M. Halpern, Ph.D.
Overview
Are you in love—or addicted? For many people, it’s not easy to tell the difference. Some relationships feel irresistible even while bringing more pain than joy. Your judgment and self-respect may whisper “walk away”, but your heart keeps you trapped. In this groundbreaking classic, psychotherapist Howard M. Halpern, Ph.D. shows you how to identify when love has become unhealthy and provides a compassionate, step-by-step plan for breaking free.
Drawing on decades of clinical practice and dozens of case histories, Halpern explores the nature of unhealthy attachments, the deceptions we tell ourselves, and the psychological hooks that keep us locked into destructive dynamics. More importantly, he shows you how to reclaim your independence, navigate the agonizing breakup period, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections in the future.
You’ll Learn:
- Why it’s possible to become addicted to a person—and how to recognize the signs.
- How self-deception (“He really loves me; he just doesn’t know how to show it…”) keeps us stuck.
- Ways to spot the symptoms of a toxic relationship.
- How to resist guilt trips, manipulation, and emotional power plays.
- Why jealousy is not a measure of love.
- Practical strategies for surviving the breakup without going back.
- How to prevent repeating the same painful patterns in future relationships.
