Addicted (2014) | This Movie Shows Why Couples Need to Talk About Their Past
Addicted offers a sensationalized view of compulsive sexual behavior, but beneath the erotic thriller we gain some insight into the long-term impact of adverse childhood experiences and their direct and indirect effects on the affected person and their families. The film also serves as a cautionary tale about what happens when communication, emotional intimacy, and trust break down in a relationship. For couples, the movie can be a springboard for deeper conversations about unmet needs, vulnerability, and how past wounds influence present choices.
