The Psychology Behind the All Consuming Crush

Why does a crush feel so overwhelming? Dr. Sarah Rasmi is joined by Dahlia Yamout, M.A., to explore the psychology and brain chemistry behind infatuation—why it can feel intoxicating, obsessive, and emotionally intense. They discuss fantasy, validation, social media, and how lasting love is built through awareness, conflict, and choice rather than chemistry alone.
