I have been teaching about love addiction and relationships since 1985. I have written four books:
Addiction to Love: Overcoming Obsession and Dependency in Relationships
The Art of Changing: Your Secret to a Better Life.
Recovery Workbook for Love Addicts and Love Avoidants.
Where Love Abides (a parable about my life).

When I am not teaching about love addiction I do online and phone counseling. Recently I have also hung out my shingle as a Life Coach. Let me ask you . . . Are you looking for love but having a hard time finding it? Do you want to get married but no one is available? I can identify what is standing in your way and help you remove these stumbling blocks. I will listen to your story, get in touch with what needs to be changed and help you become more focused and goal oriented. You may think you know what you want, but may not have a clue as to what will really make you happy and fulfilled. I will outline a program of change and help you implement these changes. I will also help you write an online profile. If you are stuck, but ready to hear the truth, I can help you change your life forever. Before setting up an appointment, please read over the counseling page on my website and bring a notebook to your session.
I am glad to be a recovering love addict myself and able to offer the following message. "If you are a love addict, you are not alone. There is hope and there is recovery. If you have suffered enough, and are ready to make certain changes, you can follow in my footsteps and those of other recovering love addicts. You can have a brighter tomorrow." From my book Addiction to Love. Change is to human life what the metamorphosis is to the caterpillar. It is the inevitable cycle of life. If there is no change there is no life. From The Art of Changing. From a reader . . . Dear Ms. Peabody:This is so funny...I was SO intimated about contacting you, but felt an overpowering need to first personally thank you for reassuring me I had not completely lost it and offering me a way out.When I discovered you were now offering life coaching. . . you didn't have to ask me twice!!! Once I read your books, I immediately found your work to be down to earth (free of annoying psycho babble), clear, concise, relevant, and full of hope. It was so powerful to turn the pages of your books and related and understand ME immediately. This personal identification with your work and examples were so powerful.I knew I had found my "answer" when I came to the symptom of "smothering" one's POA (Love Addicts Anonymous term for person of addiction.) I knew in my heart you understood me at my worst! It was as if you had jumped out from the pages I was reading and "nailed" me right there. I immediately saw myself as a dump truck driver backing up and letting go of my load covering my fantasy love who had no earthly clue I had an intimate feeling at all for him!I read your second book [The Art of Changing] as my addiction had escalated past the point of making no sense to me. It became my "bible" of hope as my therapist and I poured through the concepts of change you presented seeking how I might recover.Thank you again! It has been my pleasure and miracle meeting you! I hope my POA enjoyed my strange and continuous love. . . as it is coming to an end very very soon. Time's up buddy as I'm moving on!!!!Your grateful new client,Sheryl R.
