Limerence and its profound impact on relationships can often be misunderstood and conflated with other emotional states. Join me as I unravel my own journey through the euphoric highs and obsessive thoughts that define limerence, and how it interplays with conditions like OCD, ADHD, and trauma during the luteal phase. Learn to identify the signs of being in a limerent state, from constant thoughts about the person to overanalyzing every interaction. You’ll gain insights into how these obsessive behaviors can take a toll on your emotional well-being and complicate your relationships.

Struggling to let go when feelings are unreciprocated? You’re not alone. I share my personal battles, including dealing with love-bombing and breadcrumbing, and how neurotransmitters like dopamine can make the attachment feel almost unbreakable. Understand how hormonal fluctuations and attachment styles contribute to this emotional turmoil, and why breaking free from these patterns is crucial for your mental health. Learn about the emotional challenges of maintaining no contact and the importance of cutting off all forms of communication to ultimately find peace.

Want practical steps to navigate these intense emotions? This episode covers it all, from engaging in self-care activities to seeking support and understanding the roots of limerence. Discover the role of trauma and insecure attachment styles in making individuals more susceptible to limerence and how awareness can lead to healthier dating practices. Whether through private sessions or my upcoming Trauma Transformation course, you’ll find resources to help you break free and make informed decisions for your well-being. Join me for a deep dive into the complexities of limerence and uncover the path to emotional freedom.
