Скачать или смотреть Limerence: The Psychology of Romantic Obsession | Brandy Wyant, Being Well

Therapist Brandy Wyant and I discuss limerence, an intense and usually one-sided form of romantic obsession. We explore how limerence differs from both love and ordinary crushes, why uncertainty fuels it, and how it can take over a person’s inner world. Brandy shares both clinical insights and her own lived experience, describing the obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and shame that often accompany limerence. We examine its overlap with OCD and addiction, and discuss practical strategies from CBT and ACT.
