Addiction is a disease—not a disgrace. Current research strongly suggests that sexual or “love” addiction not only exists, but in fact manifests in the brain and in behavior in very similar ways to other recognized forms of addiction like alcoholism.

Michelle Vargas on 'Spirit of Recovery' to shed light on this often misunderstood topic. Love and sex addiction, much like other forms of addiction, can deeply affect one's brain and behavior. In this eye-opening episode, Bridget shares her extensive knowledge and experience in treating individuals struggling with these issues.
Bridget, who studied at the Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Studies in Minnesota, explains how love and sex addiction manifests in the brain and behavior, drawing parallels with more commonly recognized addictions like alcoholism. She delves into the science behind the addiction, making it accessible for everyone to understand. But it’s not just about the science; Bridget also discusses practical treatment approaches that can help individuals regain control over their lives.
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the role of spirituality in recovery. Bridget emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and embracing vulnerability as crucial steps towards healing. She provides actionable advice on how to implement these changes in daily life, making the journey to recovery more attainable. For those grappling with love and sex addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of practical advice and emotional support.
Bridget’s compassionate approach and deep understanding make this conversation both informative and comforting. Tune in to discover how spirituality can play a pivotal role in overcoming love and sex addiction, leading to healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.
