Living as a love or approval addict is a very hard way to live. You have to permanently make sure you say the right thing, do the right, and look right in order to get the needed love and approval. Your feelings are on a roller coaster - from feeling the marvelous feelings that come from getting your love or approval "fix" to feeling the despair that comes when your "supply" - the source of your love and approval - shuts down, gets angry or judgmental, or goes away.

The fundamental Cause Of Love And Approval Addiction

Love and approval addiction is rooted in self-abandonment. Fantasize the feeling part of you as a child - your inner child. When you are love or approval addicted, you have handed your inner child away for adoption. Instead of studying to take responsibility for your own happiness by loving and approving of yourself, you have handed your inner child away to others for love and approval - manufacture others responsible for your feelings. This inner self-abandonment will all the time cause the deep pain of low self-worth, manufacture you dependent upon others for your sense of worth.

The sad thing about all of this is that love is the most abundant thing in the universe. We live in a sea of love - it is all the time within us and all around us. It is our Source. When you learn to open to Spirit/God/Source, you come to be filled with love, with peace, with joy. The empty place within that yearns to be filled becomes so filled with love that it overflows to others. You find yourself desiring to give love rather than all the time trying to get it.

As long as you make others your Source, you will not find the love, peace and joy that you seek. By studying and practicing the Inner Bonding process that we teach, you can learn to fill yourself with love and heal your love and approval addictions.
