Love Addiction and Healing Relationships in Sobriety with Sherry Gaba
“Relationships will pile up, they become increasingly tangled and messy. They just become serial disasters- which is really my history- because they jump in again and again and again without really doing the work of dealing with the trauma, getting the therapy they need, dealing with these early issues of abandonment or whatever that their trauma might be, and this just keeps them in a cycle of addiction.”

In this episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli sits down with psychotherapist and relationship expert Sherry Gaba to unravel the complexities of love addiction. They dive into why relationships often become a minefield for those in recovery and how early trauma can set the stage for addictive patterns in love.

She emphasizes the crucial role of therapy in healing and building genuine, healthy partnerships. Whether you're struggling with love addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with insights that can help you foster more authentic connections. Sherry also introduces her program designed to guide individuals toward self-love and healthier relationships.
