Have you ever experienced an intense whirlwind of affection in the early stages of a relationship, only for it to fizzle out just as quickly? What lies beneath the surface of this intense affection? In today's episode, we'll discuss love bombing, which is a manipulative tactic used to gain control over another person in a relationship.  Love bombing involves showering the person with excessive affection, attention, and praise, creating an intense emotional bond that can be hard to break free from. But behind the grand gestures and constant communication lies a calculated strategy to exploit vulnerability and fulfill the love bomber's own needs for power and validation. In this episode, we'll dive into the signs of love bombing, its impact on victims, and how to establish healthy boundaries to protect yourself from manipulation and emotional abuse.
