Danielle Harris: I Was Addicted to Bad Relationships
Episode description
Acting for television and movies since the age of six, Danielle Harris became a parentified child after her father died when she was just seven. With no male role models in her life, Danielle found herself in an uncontrollable and self-destructive pattern of unhealthy relationships.
As she struggled with issues surrounding sex and love addiction, she attended 12-step meetings for a while and ultimately found solace, happiness, and a healthy relationship with the help of her long-time therapist.
Danielle and Brianne break down some of the old behaviors and new ways of taking care of themselves as actresses, directors, wives, and mothers.
