Limerence vs Love: Why You Can't Be Alone
from Blissful Evolution · host Abi Beri
Limerence isn't love — the neurochemistry of romantic obsession looks like OCD on brain scans. And if you have anxious attachment, you are neurobiologically primed for it. This episode explores Dorothy Tennov's original research, the difference between neediness and love, co-regulation vs co-dependence, and where the belief that you're not enough alone actually came from. Includes a somatic journey of coming home to yourself.
