About this listen
Butterflies in the stomach, intrusive thoughts, fantasies about imaginary scenarios, mood swings from euphoria to despair … aren’t these all the familiar hallmarks of new love? Not quite. These are characteristics of the psychological state of limerence, an intense longing for someone, also known as obsessive, passionate or addictive love that can become unhealthy.
Millions of people will experience limerence at some point in their life, and in this audiobook, Dr Tom Bellamy explores advances in neuroscience since the term was coined in the 1970s to shed light on this little-understood element of the human experience.
Discover:
– what drives limerence
– how to recognise limerence in yourself and others
– how to manage the phases of addiction to another person
– how to move past it to sustain longer, more fulfilling relationships
With supportive advice about next steps, this audiobook will help listeners struggling with unwanted feelings to find emotional equilibrium.
