Nineteen-year-old Victoria admits she’s obsessed with her ex-boyfriend, Nathan, and can’t seem to let go.

Since their breakup two months ago, she says she’s been calling him up to 100 times a day, sending as many as 1,000 text messages daily, and even standing outside his house in the freezing cold—just hoping for a chance to see him.

What’s driving Victoria’s extreme behavior? Dr. Phil digs deep to uncover the root of her obsession and help her break free from the cycle of desperation. Her father, Chuck, and stepmother, Margo, weigh in—are they enabling her, or do they feel just as helpless?

Then, Victoria comes face-to-face with Nathan on Dr. Phil’s stage. How does he really feel about her obsession? Has he truly moved on, or is he sending mixed signals that keep her hooked?

Plus, don’t miss Dr. Phil’s expert advice on breaking unhealthy attachments and taking control of your future, featuring insights from his book Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World.
