Have you ever been in love?

And I don't talk about some butterflies in your tummy.


I speak about tremendously wanting the other person to be in your life. Fantasizing about a bright future with them as your loving partner.

You just can’t stop thinking about them and wait for their next message popping up on your phone screen.

This - is not healthy. This is obsessive infatuation.

But no worries, you can let these strong feelings go.

Today we will find out what that sensation of obsessive limerence is.


You will understand why many of us, especially if we experienced childhood trauma, feel limerent over and over again.


And you will learn how to finally let go obsessive romantic infatuation.
