There is a series on Netflix now called Love, that is a Jude Apatow romantic comedy about a socially awkward man in his 30s trying to date a smart, successful, and beautiful woman in her 30s, who also happens to be a recovering sex and alcohol addict. I’ll admit that some parts of this show are a bit offensive, crude, raunchy and do show explicit sexual and drug activity. So, I am not sure I would recommend this show to everyone.
However, beneath the raunchy sex jokes and drug activity is a true love story about two incredibly flawed but decent human beings trying to stay open to the possibility of a loving and healthy relationship…even though one is a recovering sex and drug addict and her boyfriend has problems with codependency. This program actually shows us the importance of using self-care to overcome issues with codependency. [Read more…] about Using Self-Care to Overcome Codependency
