I watched the Ted talk, generally though although I agree there is one area I don't agree on when you are dealing with an ab-user there are deep issues to address and providing more love and more security to them will increase the ab-use.
If an addict is self harming only there may be some truth, but deep loving of someone who has multiple As does not seem the right thing to me.
His strategy worked to get me away from my drug of choice WH that and complete withdrawal.
