BONUS: Am I Just Having Fun, or Is This a Full-Blown Addiction?
Manage episode 390961522 series 2769424
Dr. Rob and Tami break down the gray area between just having fun, being “at-risk” for an addiction, and being a full-blown addict. It can be difficult to define the line fully when you’re in the middle of a “good time.” Dr. Rob offers various considerations for you to think about to determine whether you’re barely teetering the line or if you’re in a bad and unsustainable place.
TAKEAWAYS:
[:35] I believe my partner is a narcissist and a sex addict. He’s hurting me but I can’t seem to walk away. How can I just leave him?
[8:40] Have a three-circle plan! You need a healthy plan that will value you.
[10:50] Can you become addicted to friendships?
[15:50] My betrayed partner doesn’t believe me anymore, even when I’m telling her the truth. Do I just agree with her?
[22:30] Is there an in-between stage where someone can be between “at-risk” for an addiction vs. being a complete addict?
[26:55] Do I need to do yet another formal disclosure with my addict? We just don’t have the money for another therapist right now.
