Lovebombed: Lovebombing Archetypes

from Decoded | Unlock The Secrets of Human Behavior, Emotion and Motivation · host Elisabeth McKay | Mental Health Innovator and PredictiveMind Founder

How do I KNOW if it’s love bombing? The term lovebombing is all over social media, and it’s doing more harm than good. In this episode, I rip the label off of this viral pop psych buzzword and reveal what’s actually happening beneath the surface of hot-and-cold relationships. I break down the psychological patterning behind so-called lovebombing and the 3 archetypes that receive this label – and how to handle each type. We also get into how YOUR brain’s patterning is distorting your relationships. I’m here to give you the tools to see beyond the labels being thrown around and understand the motivation (and HUMAN) behind the behavior.Highlights00:00 What is love bombing?06:15 What the IDD cycle looks like in everyday relationships.08:00 The shift no one talks about after the honeymoon phase ends.12:00 The psychology behind ghosting.17:00 How self-deception leads us to mislabel and misunderstand others.22:00 Three reasons psychiatric labels are dangerous.26:00 Why I refused to accept the label doctors gave my daughter.33:00 The sociological shift that’s quietly redefining what’s considered “normal”.36:00 Why love bombing behavior isn’t always what it seems.40:00 The three love bombing archetypes.48:00 The most common type of love bomber today.54:00 Why do opposite patterns attract?59:15 How to speak to the pattern without shaming or labeling it.01:03:00 Three strategies to stop the IDD cycle.ResourcesOrder your copy of Your Brain Is A Filthy Liar HEREGet YOUR Brain Pattern Map HEREUse code “BGHEAL” for $100 OFF my favorite portable infrared sauna - go to healingsauna.comJoin the Decoded Community HERE for exclusive content, live recordings, and asynchronous learning experiences to go deeper on topics like this episode!FollowBizzie: @bizziegoldBreak Method: @breakmethod
