    What Passes for Passion on TV

    About this ebook

    On the tv, in books, films, magazines you will find passion expressed as love. That intensity is natural in the early stages of a relationship and dissipates as times goes on. A long term, healthy relationship will evolve into a steady, caring one.

    Some people are hooked on that intensity and will seek a new relationship when that intensity dwindles as they believe they are no longer in love.

    Passion can turn into obsession when the relationship becomes lop-sided...one person wants more than the other person does. Obsessive thinking can feel compulsive and can lead to relationship/sexual addiction so if you think you are obsessing seek help.

    Obsession can also lead to stalking which is very unpleasant to experience for everyone concerned.

    Author

    Susan Jane Smith

    I became an author without ever having had any desire to write! Let me explain: I was a Psychotherapist in private practice and busy, but always short on time or money due to the labour intensive nature of the work. I meditated about how to get more money and the "answer" came back "write the book". Well, what to write? I had read you should write about what you know so I started to try to convey all that I had learnt in 20 years of my professional life! It took me six yeaers! It was a long time before I found "my voice" - my style. Chatty rather than clinical as I believe in trying to connect with people. I literally had to screw up all my courage to start writing as it was a new world to share my thoughts with people I did not know. My most important book "Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth" was started on a bit of chip paper in a car park! I made lots of notes on scraps of paper and eventually orgainised them and pulled it all together and that was how this particular book was born! I was asked to write "Pre-Marital MOT: A Relationship Inspection" and that too is based on working with hundreds of individuals and couples. "Sexual Abuse & Incest" and "Physical and Emotional Abuse Hurt the World as Well as The Child" are two of the twenty self-help e-books now available in my Little Book Series of Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth. I have 7 rescue cats and adore all cats so when I was wanting an idea to help fund raise for cat rescue groups I wrote "Harry's Home! A Cat Compendium". If you love cats too this is the book for you! Watch my website for updates and do tell all your friends about me!
