Addicted to Love

What happens when the desire to be loved becomes a god? Or when the person you love becomes your god? This workshop discusses the elements of a healthy relationship versus a destructive relationship and identifies how to help someone make changes. In this audio talk, Vernick explores emotionally destructive relationships, how to recognize destructive relationship patterns, and how to help someone heal from their destructive relationship. She encourages counselors to help people make decisions for themselves and to confidently speak their own thoughts and feelings in a constructive way. Additionally, counselor’s can help people recover from lies they believe about themselves and others and help sufferers rest in their identity in Christ as a way to invite healthy change in their partner.
