The FLOW  

Since 2005, The F.L.O.W. (For Love Of the World) began as a dialogue between three men, Marc Collins, Angelo Hunt and Roy Frank sharing their feelings regarding their past relationships. Through their dialogue Marc, Angelo and Roy forged a bond that is not common among men. The discussions quickly moved from telephone conversations, to the Internet with male and female participants, to monthly forums held in a variety of venues bringing men and women together to discuss relationships. The Flow (For Love Of The World) is a relationship dialogue consisting of an online internet forum (www.flow4theworld.com) and regularily scheduled relationship events where there are discussions regarding such topics as “Why Men Fear Love & Intimacy”; “Sex, Religion & Spirituality”; “ Are You Ready For a Relationship?”; among others. F.L.O.W. events provide a platform where fundamental relationship issues are candidly discussed that go beyond “baby momma drama”. Originally from the New York Metro Area, Marc, Angelo and Roy came together to share their knowledge of relationship pitfalls, challenges and successes. . The Flow Advocates: * One of the Prime Relationships is with yourself: Having a healthy, loving relationship with yourself is a key to successful relationships. * We are complete within ourselves: Relationships should enhance who we are not complete us. * Relationships are experiences that allow us to grow and redefine ourselves, if we choose. * We are responsible for our choices and consequently our relationship outcomes

Show Notes

    Love Addiction: A Broken Mirror of the Self

     

    Are you looking for "love" and can never seem to find it? Do you find your self in relationships where you don't receive the "love" you give. Are you or have you been in relationhsips where you fear being left alone? Do you feel that you "need" to be in a relationship? Do you lose your sense of self when you are in a relationship? You may be a Love Addict. Pia Mellody, in her book "Facing Love Addiction" characterizes the behavioral symptoms of a Love Addict:

    1. Love Addicts assign a disproportionate amount of time, attention and
    "value above themselves" to the person to Whom they are addicted,
    and this focus often has an obsessive quality about it.

    2. Love Addicts have unealistic expectations for unconditional positive regard
    from the other person in the relationship.

    3. Love Addicts neglect to care for or value themselves while they are in a
    relationship.

    If this is your approach to "love" there is nothing cute or romantic about it. This not love, but a pathological condition. And, given the concepts of love and relationships that we have been socialized to accept as reality, Love Addiction, is not uncommon in relationships, whether romantic or otherwise. The Flow advocates that relationships do not complete but enhance who we are. Love Addiction, in reality has less to do with the other person in the relationship than it is more about the inability to have a healthy relationship with oneself. It is seeking completness outside of who we are.

    Additionally, many of us have an image of love which has no basis in reality. What we call love is really possession, obligation or need fulfillment. Real love is a choice, a choice that we joyfully, willfully make over and over again. It cannot be forced. When our relationships become prisons and cease to be a source of self affirmation we must carfully access what is it that we are really doing here? Relationships are ultimately about the self, I believe, vechicles through which both particiants become the "best versions of themselves." Anything less than this is a form of social pathology. Join The FLOW on Heart of the Matter, a relationship Magazine on Sunday October 11 at 6PM on Blogtalk Internet Radio www.blogtalkradio.com/the-flow, Topic Love Addiction. Guest Debora M. Ricks, author of Love Addicted:One Woman's Spiritual Journey Through Emotional Dependency.
