Some love stories are easy to root for. Others… make you pause.

In this episode of Once Upon a Session, Vanessa and Nareesa explore the psychology behind forbidden love — the pull toward relationships that exist between desire and consequence.

Why do we want what we can’t have? And when does love cross the line from exciting to harmful?

Tune in as we break down the emotional, psychological, and relational dynamics behind the love stories we can’t look away from.
