Why does falling for someone so often feel like a painful obsession? In episode 144 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss the unspoken difficulties of limerence, or the state of falling in love. What is the difference between love and limerence, and why do we confuse them so frequently? How does social media fuel limerent reactions? And is limerence inherently selfish? They discuss how limerence can be formative to our personal identities, whether a limerent object has ethical obligations to those who obsess over them, and how modern dating norms might direct us all towards limerence rather than love. In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts get into the relationship between self-worth and limerence and whether it's possible to have reciprocal limerence.Works Discussed:Tom Bellamy, Smitten: Romantic obsession, the neuroscience of limerence, and how to make love lastStendhal, De l'amourDorothy Tennov, Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in LoveCrazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015-2019)Enjoy our work?

Historička umenia a odborná poradkyňa súťaže, Nina Gažovičová, prijala naše pozvanie do štúdia a podelila sa s nami o svoje pohľady a názory na súťaž. Vysvetľuje kritériá výberu medzinárodnej poroty, ktorá je zárukou objektívnosti, proces inštalácie rôznorodých diel a význam súťaže pre konfrontáciu slovenskej scény so zahraničnými expertmi. Zdôrazňuje, že súťaž slúži ako dôležitý odrazový mostík pre mladých autorov, hoci slovenská verejnosť a zberatelia zostávajú voči súčasnému umeniu prevažne konzervatívni. Priestor na svoje pohľady dostali v reportáži aj laureáti cien Maľby 2025 – Paula Gogola, Adam Baník a Eva Vaňová. Predstavujú inšpiráciu a význam svojich víťazných diel a diskutujú o tom, ako im finančné prostriedky a pozornosť médií pomáhajú v ďalšej tvorbe. O MAĽBE 2025: O odborné a nezávislé hodnotenie v súťaži Maľba 2025 sa postarali Klara Kemp-Welch, historička umenia z Veľkej Británie, Giovanni Morale, kritik a historik z Talianska,  renomovaný domáci vizuálny umelec Roman Ondak a rovnako uznávaný slovenský maliar Andrej Dúbravský, ktorého profesijný rozlet bol spätý práve so súťažou Maľba. miesto Na treťom mieste s prislúchajúcou finančnou odmenou vo výške 5 000 eur sa umiestnila Eva Vaňová s maľbou nazvanou Silent city. miesto Druhú priečku obsadil a finančné prostriedky pre ďalšie umelecké napredovanie vo výške 10 000 eur si odniesol debutant súťaže Adam Baník za svoje dielo In Drops of Sweat We Thrive. miesto Autorkou umelecky najkomplexnejšej práce 20. ročníka súťaže Maľba je podľa hodnotenia medzinárodnej poroty tak isto debutantka súťaže Paula Gogola. Tá získala za svoje dielo Limerence nielen prestížny titul a hodnotnú referenciu od renomovaných osobností, ale tiež najvyššiu odmenu od Nadácie VÚB vo výške 15 000 eur. Okrem troch víťazných diel vyslovila porota špeciálne uznanie aj pre maliara Samuela Kollárika a jeho dielo Rotten Sower.

Some men can't stop trying to “save” broken women. They think it's love. They think it's noble. But it's an addiction — a way of escaping their own pain. In this episode, I read a powerful letter from a man trapped in the “White Knight” pattern and delivers some tough love on how rescuing others can destroy you, your marriage, and your peace of mind.If you've ever tried to fix someone who didn't want to be fixed, or confused pity for love, this one's going to hit home.Join the Brotherhood! https://helpformen.com/join

Send Gemma a messageWhat limerence really is, why it hooks into our deepest unmet needs and how to gently unhook using a schema-therapy lens.In Part 2, Gemma explores limerence as a preoccupying, often intoxicating state that's fueled by unmet needs - with abandonment and emotional deprivation schemas usually at the core. She explains why the brain's reward systems (hello, dopamine) and a quieted prefrontal cortex can hijack rationality, making red flags easy to miss. You'll learn practical, compassionate ways to reduce rumination, interrupt mental loops and begin reparenting the vulnerable parts that long for consistent care. Gemma also speaks to when limerence turns into a relationship (and why those tend to be high “schema chemistry”) and offers realistic hope for moving toward grounded, secure love.Key takeawaysLimerence = unmet needs + brain rewards. It's human, common, and often temporary; shame isn't helpful.Schemas under the hood: Abandonment (primary) and emotional deprivation are frequent drivers; attachment style can be a clue, but schemas give the nuance.“Schema chemistry” alert: Relationships born from intense limerence often trigger old wounds on both sides.Stop feeding the loop: Reduce cues (no social stalking, no photo scrolling). Notice → name → turn your mind.Circuit breakers that help: Mindfulness, imagery/rumination interruption, exercise, novelty/learning, supportive people, flow-state activities.Reparenting matters: Daily, gentle practices to meet needs consistently will dilute schemas over time.When to get help: If limerence becomes distressing, incapacitating or escalates into harmful behaviours, seek professional support.Practical steps you can tryName it: “This is the limerence loop.”Reduce reinforcement: Unfollow/mute; remove reminders.Shift attention: Choose a grounding task (walk, call a friend, learn something new).Reparenting micro-rituals: Daily check-ins with your vulnerable part; write a brief caring letter to yourself.Track triggers: Note what sparks rumination and plan alternatives.Therapeutic support: Look for schema-informed, experiential work.Mentioned in this episodeCoaching spaces now open with Gemma (limited).Love Wisely group coaching: next intake planned for late Feb '26 (waitlist in links).Reviews really help.

This week, Vee and Elle unpack everything couples should talk about before stepping into a shared play space—from emotional boundaries to desires, jealousy, and how to reconnect afterward, using a conversation framework they learned on an ISTA retreat.  From collars and rituals to new relationship energy (NRE), aka limerence, and the messy middle between fantasy and reality—Vee goes deep on her experience. Whether you're new to the lifestyle, playing with a new partner, or redefining your relationship agreements, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and deeply personal moments.RDBSM (Relationship, Desires, Boundaries, Sexual Health, Meaning). (00:25)R: Relationship: Vee navigates a new Monogamish relationship with Mister A. Dom/sub dynamics and wearing collars to denote ownership and ritual. (6:13)Conscious Relating: redefining your relationships as they fit into your life. (7:26)D: Desires: playing together with another couple or a female unicorn. (13:31)B: Boundaries: the idea of men's cum as ownership leading to wanting to be there for your partner's orgasm. (13:57)NRE (New Relationship Energy) vs Love: WTF is limerence? And how do you know when it's evolved from new relationship energy to actual true romantic love? Instability vs stability. (17:14)Boundaries contd: Not playing separately, keeping play and connection in the container of the scene or the play party, and then “keep it in the group text”. Locking in and taking the performative aspect out of exhibitionism. (20:37)M: Meaning: creating a container to explore safely within the time boundaries of the party. (26:30)Traffic Light System: What to do in the moment if you're feeling activated or jealous? Borrowing from BDSM scenes to have a safe word or traffic light system in more traditional scenes. (29:15)A: Aftercare: going home together, reconnecting, and talking over breakfast? (33:13)Post-Party: Back to School theme and showing ownership by wearing a collar. (34:29)Wax Play experience: performing for your man when you know he's watching. (37:38)Connecting with your partner first: Vee cums for the first time at a play party! (42:44)Mixed feelings: Watching your partner fuck someone else. What a guy should say when the female is unsure about playing. (45:42)Popping their cherry: Vee and Mister A play with another couple for the first time. (51:08)Aftercare and debriefing the next day.

True story. And the lesson? Huge. Everyone talks about “reclaiming your power” but what does that actually mean? In this episode, I break it down: reclaiming your power starts with reclaiming your life force. Every single day, we leak energy to people, roles, and routines that aren't right for us. And sometimes, it takes one bold decision to stop the leak and watch how fast life responds. I share a recent story where the moment a friend cut off what was draining her and something wild happened in return - almost instantly.  I'll walk you through exactly what happened, how it can apply to you, how to call your energy back, the practices I use to generate new energy on repeat, and how to stop giving your life force away to what was never meant for you.

Forrest and therapist Brandy Wyant discuss limerence, an intense and often one-sided state of romantic obsession. They 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. They examine its overlap with OCD and addiction, and discuss practical strategies from CBT and ACT.

Lyrics, Limerence and Learning to Carry OnIn this poetic, funny, and deeply human episode, host Graham Coath is joined by rising singer-songwriter Maggie Baring for a wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from lost Tube stops and lyrical complexity to mythological songwriting and choir-school memories.Maggie shares the story behind her beautiful new single “Carey” — a track that deals with the grey areas of emotion, unspoken chemistry, and moral complexity. We explore how her English literature background (including a dissertation on Leonard Cohen!) influences her lyrics, why specific details can create universal connection, and how moving to London made her creatively happier than ever — even if it meant being constantly overwhelmed.Along the way, they chat:

Literally romantic obsession SUCKS. The longing is so intense, and there's no way to satiate it. In this epi, we get into how your unmet childhood needs are feeding your limerence, how we work with them, and why self-love is both the key AND just the beginning.

Welcome to Immersion, you have reached Strata 9Lust and Loins (Limerence)Limerence is a uniquely human phenomenon that new lovers, potential lovers, and sometimes even strangers, may experience. Limerence is a state of mind (not solely romantic) that typically includes persistent, sometimes depressing thoughts, and a deep yearning for the object of one's affection. It can be easily confused with love. Often human beings can find themselves addicted to these obsessive feelings and can easily be overwhelmed by adoration for another human being. Limerence cannot be turned on and off like a machine. It can come from nowhere and disappear without logic. The experience of this sensory state is proven to be inspiring, connective, unifying, disruptive, and even excruciating, yet it continues to mark the human trajectory of existence through time and place.'Good *dundeal Mr. Renyke Man.' said Flex excitedly.''We leave at dark, mind,' said Shabra. 'Take some time for food and rest. You might need your strength. I will get food.' Renyke watched her take weapons from the vehicle, knives and a small crossbow.The group is in an enclosure flanked by half-deconstructed concrete walls. There are large metal containers lying around with shrubbery and foliage trying to make a stand against the manmade environment. Tumbleweed played in the soft wind searching for a home.Maybeline scurried around searching for food and sniffing the air. She could smell something sinister, the scent of danger, as Renyke studied her movements.Flex kicked some redundant ashes by an upturned metal water tank. 'I can make us a fire,' he said, taking a pocket full of old rusty lighters and tinder from one of his huge pockets. His brightly coloured patchwork overcoat seemed to store an abundance of useful things. There were small pieces of mechanical paraphernalia, vintage innards from antique items, little motors, motherboards and old PC parts. There were secret pockets and compartments for weapons and a waterproof lining held everything together.‘Do you take this stuff everywhere you go?' asked Renyke.‘Yes sir-ee, some days *man'dun gotta make *swapsie-trade. .And other days, well, there are enemies and they kill for the fun of it. Everything has a use in the Zones brother. You learn that quick here.Maybeline found a water flow from a pipe tucked in the grass and took a long drink.Renyke began to pace, 'Shabra is taking her time,' he said, standing near the opening of the enclosure.‘She'll come, she is huntin' tis all my friend. You got attached already?'Renyke stared at Flex and mumbled, ‘We need that ride.'Then he checked POS whose signal was intermittent.'.......What are the signs of being attracted to somebody?'POS took a moment to compile a response……..……Do you mean human responses?'……yes, yes, of course ‘humans', Renyke replied.'POS continued…..nervousness around the subject of the attraction,…..extended thoughts about the subject,…..obsessive thoughts beyond normal curiosity about the subject,…..insomnia due to obsessive considerations of the subject,…..anxiety over possible outcomes of imaginary scenarios involving the subject,…..a desire to touch the intimate parts of the subject,…..dreams about the subject,…..fantasy building scenarios between the human and the subject,…..being overly concerned about….‘Enough,' said Renyke, irritated with the voice in his head.Finally Shabra returned.She carried two dead rabbits in her belt and washed a wide glinting blade under the water that flowed from the broken pipe.‘This water's good. Your rat is a good scout for provisions. We can fill up the tanks and flask before we go.'The new acquaintances are relaxed and considering preparation for the short but dangerous car journey to the *Edge.Shabra checked the vehicle mechanics, the doors and metal buttresses worked in perfect synch and there were six exhausts. She filled the water kegs and put them in the boot.‘Where is the vehicle from?' Asked Renyke.‘I built it,' answered Shabra, 'from scratch. 'Well, I had several wrecks and put my beaut together.Me n her, we like lovers. She drives me crazy with her vibes.'Shabra looked at Renyke parting her lips into a wry smile. They were oily from the fat of the meal.She winked through long dark lashes.Renyke felt a thump in his heart, a deep penetrating surge of something enthralling.Suddenly there is a distant high-pitched sound, like a siren or swarm. It seems to be getting louder when Flex and Shabra grab Renyke, throwing him into the vehicle.Seconds later they were surrounded by a marauding mass of screaming children. Some were made of broken body parts with human faces, others were small walking babies with burnt skin. Some had extra limbs and even two heads. They were crying and screeching, banging toy drums and chanting verses.One of them seemed to be the leader and he leapt onto Shabra's bonnet. The noise was deafening.  to be continued© 2025 Sarnia de la Mare

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking limerence, longing, and connection with our guest, Amanda McCracken, a journalist, speaker, and host of the insightful The Longing Lab podcast and author of the forthcoming book, When Longing Becomes Your Lover. Inside the episode, we breakdown limerence and the limerence cycle, and how this intense and often obsessive infatuation we may develop for someone ultimately keeps us from developing the connections and relationships we desire.  We'll also explore the neuroscience behind limerence and how our brains are wired to desire what we don't have, and why this longing can become a comforting distraction.  But that's not all, you all came through with questions and we've got answers, like how to break the limerence cycle? What if I just can't get over someone? I have a crush, how can I not go into limerence? What are some strategies for obsessive thoughts? What role does social media and the dating apps play in all of this? As we begin to wrap up the conversation, Amanda shares her decision to wait until 41 to have sex, which garnered national attention and sparked conversations about intimacy, self-worth, and the societal narratives that shape our romantic lives. Alright flirties, let's prepare to examine our desires and the stories we tell ourselves about love.  Time to meet Amanda!

This was a long one so I am sharing 15 minutes of the episode and I highly recommend joining the Patreon and getting this episode.  In this episode: Ever heard of limerence? It's not quite love, not quite lust—but something way more intense, obsessive, and irrational. I'm taking a close look at this state of deep distress that starts with euphoric highs. I reference Dr. Dorothy Tennov's original research, what modern psychologists are debating now, and how hyperfocus, rejection sensitivity, and impulsivity all play a role in this heartbreaking, confusing experience.

New Relationship Energy (NRE) can make everything feel like a shiny object. We get it, we love that feeling too! If you're practicing non-monogamy, you might actually find yourself feeling NRE in multiple places. We made this episode in response to a listener question—what do I do with all these feelings and expectations? How do I prepare for when this chemical cocktail starts to fade?Even though it's really exciting, this noisy emotional environment requires thoughtful navigation to maintain balance and authenticity. In this episode we're helping you navigate everything from the big picture emotional questions to the practical, day-to-day questions like how to manage your schedule.We're breaking down:— The neurochemical nature of NRE— How NRE can lead us to project our desires onto new partners rather than seeing them clearly— The difference between NRE (new relationship energy) and limerence, and why understanding this distinction matters— Why NRE often causes us to mute our own boundaries and bottom-line requirements— The challenge of maintaining authenticity when we're caught up in the newness of relationships— How to recognize when you're abandoning yourself, your established partners, or your friendships during intense NRE periods— The importance of explicit conversations about expectations rather than just "going with the flow"— Strategies for pacing yourself and managing your energy when experiencing multiple NREs— The transition from NRE to ERE (established relationship energy) and how to nurture deeper connections— Why comparing your relationships is less valuable than examining how you show up differently in each oneResources mentioned in this episode:— Episode 153: Limerence vs. New Relationship EnergyJOIN The Year of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Limerence is an addiction-level romantic obsession with someone you can't have. It can get so bad that you're checking out of reality, isolating and fantasizing that the person you love loves you back. It's common in people who were emotionally neglected as kids, and it can rob you of any chance of truly loving someone and being loved in your life, because limerence takes up that space where anyone real, could really be with you. In this video, I respond to a follow-up letter from a man who wrote to me last year, immobilized with limerence. Now, his life is healing, and he shares how he did it.

Limerence is a weapons-grade obsession with other people you can't actually be with. It blocks you from real love, and holds onto you like an addiction. People say limerence is a projection of who YOU really are, or a projection of the divine – but sometimes I think that toxic cloud of limerence might be generated by the ABSENCE left by your parents' failure to truly see or love you. In this video I respond to a letter from a man who grew up in a family paralyzed by shame; now he's struggling to form a romantic relationship.
