Love Addiction w/ Rivkah Reyes - Ep. 185

Might as well face it you're addicted to (things that actually aren't but can sometimes trick you into thinking it's) love! Actor/Musician/Comedian/Writer/Reader Rivkah Reyes joins us to dyke out about their recovery and journey to being spiritually healthy. After years of struggling with substance abuse, they realized that there were other addictive behaviors that were more dangerous to their health and wellbeing. We talk about the different forms of love addiction and what it's like to navigate relationships once you're aware of it. There's so much great information and insight into mental health in this episode, and of course, laughs along the way. Riv also shares how their past as a child actor may have contributed to normalizing unhealthy behaviors. Plus, is Rivkah's 'gayest thing' THE gayest thing a guest has ever shared? Carolyn and Melody put in their best gay effort at the Dyke Cookout, but it doesn't even compare. Finally, we end with another really difficult question from a listener who has so big decisions ahead. Remember, use code DYKINGOUT to get a discount on a reading by Riv!
