Why Do I Only Fall for Idiots?.. It's Time to Stop Suffering Over Them!

In her book on love addiction, Lara Ferreiro explores this paradox from the perspective of psychology. You will see how the brain’s “chemistry”—the reward system—works, causing us to return again and again to toxic relationships, even while understanding how destructive they are. The author identifies six stages of an addictive bond and shows why it can be so difficult to get out of this scenario.

At the center is the origin of addiction: traumatic childhood experiences, parental beliefs, low self-esteem, and popular myths about “real” love. You’ll learn how addiction gradually undermines life: it erases one’s sense of self, affects work, and worsens well-being. But the book doesn’t stop there: Lara Ferreiro offers practical directions for getting free—how to rewire habitual reactions, regain support in yourself, and learn to build healthy relationships.

This book is for those who want to break a destructive attachment and come to harmony in love for oneself and for others.
