"I'm A Sex and Love Addict." Uncut with Elizabeth Gilbert

Today we are joined again by the phenomenal Elizabeth Gilbert. We recorded an episode with Liz last year titled ‘Being Single Needs A Rebrand’

In that episode we spoke about:

  • What Liz’s life was like before and after the success of Eat, Pray, Love,
  • If she were to name ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ again it would be ‘Not exactly what I had in mind’ and
  • How Liz used to drain herself by giving her everything to relationships but now feels being emotionally autonomous

Liz’s latest book “all the way to the river” is an incredibly honest recount of her own experiences of sex and love addiction alongside her wife’s journey through drug addiction and terminal cancer.

Today we speak about:

  • What sex and love addiction actually looks like (it might be more familiar to you than you expect)
  • What it feels like to be out of control of yourself
  • Coping with validation cravings, codependency and grief
  • Why Liz didn’t have a choice but to be honest in this book
  • Having a deep level of intimacy with your best friend
  • A revelation about trigger warnings
  • Being an olympic level people pleaser
  • Why Liz doesn’t read any reviews anymore and what that’s taught her about our sense of self
  • The parameters she’s had to put on herself to reach ‘emotional sobriety’
