Understanding
Love Addiction
A comprehensive online program that helps women:
• Recognize the symptoms

What is Understanding Love Addiction (ULA)?
ULA is a comprehensive online program designed to help women like you recognize the five core issues caused by developmental trauma and understand how they contribute to the symptoms of love addiction.
Once you understand these symptoms and how they’ve shaped your life, you’ll be able to operate with more compassion, experience less shame, and live wholeheartedly as your Authentic Self (aka the person you were born to be).

✔︎ have the opportunity to work with Jodi individually
✔︎ learn new content each week through video lectures (with notes) & homework assignments
✔︎ get 12 weeks of access to an interactive group community on Mighty Networks to receive feedback & coaching from Jodi between live calls
✔︎ receive valuable group support & establish meaningful connection within a network of women who get it
✔︎ begin to build your own foundation for a self-compassionate recovery & healing process
✔︎ begin your healing process and living the life you deserve
What will I learn?
Through eight modules, we’ll cover
✔︎ attachment and the role that attachment trauma plays in love addiction & avoidance

The History of ULA
“When I finally learned about love addiction, my entire world changed for the better.” ~ Jodi White
I spent most of my adult life feeling like something was wrong with me, and that it was just me who felt and behaved the way I did. I continually found myself in relationships where I undervalued and neglected myself while overvaluing my partner.
These relationships were tumultuous and always ended badly, yet no one around me seemed to share these experiences, which led to even more shame.
When I found a therapist who taught me about love addiction, I felt empowered by this new information. I was finally able to begin the recovery process which led to valuing myself like I never could before. If I’d known the symptoms of love addiction, I could have started healing much earlier in life, but there was a shortage of information about the topic (and a shortage of therapists who understood it).
I've designed Understanding Love Addiction to help you recognize and address the five core issues caused by developmental trauma, understand how those issues contribute to the symptoms of love addiction, and provide resources to support you in your recovery.
The program is intended to provide tools and knowledge through coaching and education, which will help you build a sturdy recovery foundation that you can continue to build upon for years to come.
I developed ULA using a combination of what worked for me in my personal recovery and what I’ve learned as a therapist and coach. This program is not therapy, but it is an opportunity to begin your healing process in a supportive environment.
