Скачать или смотреть Idealization in Limerence: A Double-Edged Sword (OBJECT RELATIONS THEORY)

In this conversation, I delve into the concept of limerence, exploring its psychological underpinnings and the allure of limerence fantasy. We focus on those who are prone to limerence and discuss how limerence differs from typical romantic relationships. Through the lens of object relations theory, I explain how early attachments influence adult relationships and how fantasies serve as coping mechanisms for unmet emotional needs. I also highlight the dangers of idealization in limerent experiences and the consequences of escaping into fantasy rather than confronting reality.

You deserve more than obsession, you deserve real love and a deeper connection with yourself and life.
