Episode 297: The Limerence Cycle

In this episode, we dive deep into the Limerence Cycle, breaking down its emotional phases and how it impacts our relationships. From the intense highs of infatuation to the moments of crystallization, and eventually the challenges of dissonance and resolution, we ask: How do we navigate love and obsession while remaining grounded in reality?

We explore:

• What is the Limerence Cycle? Understanding the four key stages. 

• Infatuation vs. Love – Why does the beginning feel so euphoric? • Crystallization – How our feelings for someone intensify and idealize them.

• Dissonance – What happens when reality doesn’t meet our expectations?

• Dissonant Resolution – Finding clarity and moving forward after emotional highs and lows. This episode is all about self-awareness and reflecting on how these cycles play out in our lives.

 Are we chasing the thrill of infatuation, or are we ready to resolve and grow? Join the conversation, and let us know in the comments: What phase of the cycle resonates most with you? Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more thought-provoking discussions!
