WTF is Limerence: Obsessive Love or Trauma Bond?
Episode Summary:
Have you ever been completely obsessed with someone, someone who didn’t treat you right or maybe isn’t even in your life anymore?
You might be dealing with Limerence.
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a term many women don’t even realise they’re living through. I dive into the signs of limerence, why it’s not love, how it’s tied to your emotional wounds, and how to finally break free from the fantasy.
I’m sharing:
💥 What limerence really is and how it shows up after toxic relationships
💭 My own experience falling for someone totally wrong for me post-breakup
🧠 The psychology behind obsession and why we get hooked on unavailable people
❤️🔥 Why limerence is more about you than them—and how to take your power back
🛠️ 5 powerful ways to start healing, set boundaries, and stop romanticising someone who isn’t right for you
I also talk about how one client’s journey inspired this episode, and why healing from this pattern is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself.
