Author Amanda McCracken on "limerence" - the obsessive longing for romantic love

from It Only Takes One · host Amy Nobile Messing

I loved this memoir - "When Longing is Your Lover" - so much! Amanda joins me and we talk about what limerence is -- an obsessive longing for love -- and how we can stay stuck in this mode for a long time. Through telling her story, we touch on the difference between love and limerence, what real chemistry is, why so many smart, self-aware women stay in relationships that aren't healthy for them, what healthy love actually looks like, and more. amandajmccracken.comIG: @amandajmccracken
