Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're getting into one of the most confusing— and yet sometimes intoxicating—dating experiences out there: it's lovebombing. You know that rush when someone comes on strong with over-the-top attention, affection, and promises? At first, it can feel magical—like you've finally found ‘the one.' But beneath the surface, lovebombing can be manipulative, destabilizing, and even harmful. To help us understand what lovebombing really is—and what it isn't— we're joined by Kelsey Wonderlin. Kelsey is a licensed therapist and dating coach who has worked with thousands of women to build healthier dating lives. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Time, and the Today Show, and today she's here to help us get to the root of why lovebombing happens, how we respond to it, and how we can tell the difference between genuine interest and manipulation. We'll talk about the red flags to look out for, how to recognize when we're lovebombing, how the spark plays into all of this, and the tools you can use to slow things down and stay focused on the connection without wasting your time. So, if you've ever wondered what the heck is lovebombing or you're looking for clarity around how this plays out in dating, this episode is for you! Alright Flirties, let's do this, and meet Kelsey!

I was astonished by the lack of resources to learn how to attract and sustain a healthy relationship. Drawing upon my training as a licensed therapist, I took it upon myself to create the courses I needed for during my own dating journey. What initially started as a personal quest to overcome my own struggles has evolved into a comprehensive system that has assisted 1,000s of clients in fostering strong self-relationships and attracting the right healthy partner they desire."

On this week's episode of the Low Meins Asylum Show, we dive into one of the most chilling jailhouse calls yet from Wade Wilson the man convicted of the brutal murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Florida. In this call, Wilson boldly claims he will “run the prison” while at the same time using a manipulative tactic known as love bombing showering someone with affection or emotional intensity to gain control. We break down what love bombing means, how it's used by abusive personalities, and why hearing it from a convicted killer is so disturbing. We also touch on the disturbing reality that Wilson has received thousands of fan messages, letters, and even indecent photos while on death row — a phenomenon tied to hybristophilia, the attraction some people feel toward violent criminals. This episode isn't just about one call it's about power, manipulation, and society's unsettling fascination with true crime. Tune in as we analyze Wilson's words, his bravado, and the psychological manipulation at play.
We are off for the long weekend, mourning the end of Summer. For now enjoy some calls from the past, I will be back for a LIVE AMA Wednesday!

"Siamo tutti e tutte potenzialmente in pericolo di finire in una setta" Si, lo sappiamo, è un'affermazione molto forte ma è il giusto mantra da tenere a mente quando pensiamo di poter giudicare l'ennesima vittima di truffa al tg o quando ci raccontano di quella regazza tanto talentuosa che è entrata in Scientology. Il problema è che nessuno di noi è totalmente immune da tecniche di manipolazione psicologica come il "Love Bombing" - per parlarne abbiamo invitato Roberta Lippi, l'autrice e scrittrice che su questa tecnica ha sviluppato un'interessantissimo e prezioso podcast che ne porta il nome oltre a molte altre produzioni video e audio eccezionali.

Es ist eine permanente und massive Irritation: Menschen, die mit (pathologischen) Narzisst:innen eine Beziehung eingehen, kennen dieses Gefühl. Nach einer intensiven und nicht selten von Lovebombing geprägten Kennenlern- und Verliebtheitsphase kippt die Stimmung plötzlich. Nie ist man dem Narzisst genug, permanent macht man etwas falsch oder trägt für Fehler die Schuld, die man gar nicht begangen hat. Allmählich löst sich das eigene Ego auf, während der Narzisst (oder die Narzisstin) immer mehr Oberwasser bekommt. Welcher Beziehungstyp verfängt sich in derartigen Strukturen, und die Frage aller Fragen, wie kommt man da wieder raus? Und: Ist Narzissmus heilbar? Ann-Marlene und Caro gehen dem dieser Tage nur allzu inflationär verwendeten Narzissmusbegriff auf die Spur und klären auf. Seid dabei bei unserer ersten Episode nach der Sommerpause. Willkommen zurück!

Love bombing can feel like a fairy tale — over-the-top affection, attention, and gifts that come in hot and fast — but it's often a manipulation play to hook you before the mask slips. Carrie and Meg unpack the signs: intense compliments, constant check-ins, fast-forward future talk, lavish gestures, and pressure to be together 24/7. Meg shares how a “nice guy” future-faked, showered her with Gucci + Cabo, and blew past boundaries (daily texting a “sister”) before bailing when she stood her ground; Carrie adds her sister Risa's whirlwind courtship that flipped to lies and vanish mode. We break down how to slow the roll, keep your people close, watch for control, and stand on your worth — you're never second here, girl. We got your back. Tune in for laughs, girl chat and simple, tangible advice with your besties because we always have your back!

Lisa Shield delves into the crucial distinction between love bombing and real love. She shares her own experiences and insights on how to identify a love bomber, highlighting red flags such as over-the-top affection, constant communication, lavish gifts, and pressing for quick commitment. Lisa contrasts this with the slow, steady development of real love, emphasizing the importance of boundaries, consistency, and mutual respect. She offers practical advice on protecting your heart, setting and reinforcing boundaries, and listening to your intuition. Lisa passionately encourages taking time to truly get to know a partner and underscores the value of emotional nakedness and vulnerability in fostering genuine connections. Tune in to learn how to safeguard yourself against love bombers and open the door to lasting, meaningful relationships.Highlights: Understanding Love Bombers Love bombers overwhelm you with attention, affection, and gifts to quickly win your trust.

Lavishing gifts and grand gestures. Putting pressure to commit quickly.Characteristics of Real Love Develops gradually with mutual respect and understanding.

Willingness to have difficult conversations and respect for boundaries.Protecting Yourself from Love Bombers Slow down and honor your own pace. Set and reinforce clear boundaries. Stay connected with friends and family who can offer objective perspectives. Look for consistent actions over grand promises. Listen to your intuition and trust your gut feelings.Key Takeaway Authentic relationships build over time with open communication, mutual respect, and emotional vulnerability.

Your brain defaults to fear 12x faster than logic, disrupting connection unless actively addressed. In this milestone 400th episode, relationship coach Sabrina Zohar reveals why you unconsciously recreate childhood dynamics in dating, often attracting the same emotional unavailability, love bombing, and ghosting patterns. We explore how unmet childhood needs create protective behaviors that mistake pain for love, leading to repetition compulsion where you date narcissists trying to heal narcissistic parent wounds. You don't need complete healing to find love but emotional regulation is essential. Sabrina shares practical techniques: self parenting your inner child, pausing to feel body signals, and building relationships with anxiety rather than eliminating it. Real growth comes from repair over perfection. Stop asking "Why don't they want me?" and start asking "What am I making this mean about me?" Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.

We talk a lot about love-bombing in dating—but what about when it happens in friendships? In this episode, we break down friendship bombing: the intense, all-in energy that seems caring at first but turns out to be another form of emotional manipulation. From instant besties to sudden ghosting, this is still attachment theory at work—just dressed in platonic clothing. If you've ever felt confused, drained, or betrayed by a “too-good-to-be-true” friendship… this one's for you.

Love Bombing. Is it real love or a red flag? find out in episode 102
Donald Trump, without consulting Congress or United States allies, orders the military to bomb Iran, and then claims that Iran and Israel have reached a ceasefire. Military and intelligence services push back on Trump's claims that Iran's three nuclear sites have been "completely and totally obliterated." MAGA isolationists change their tone to avoid Trump's ire. Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan react to all the latest, including reports that nuclear material may have been removed before the attacks, Iran's retaliatory strikes on an American military installation in Qatar, and Trump's new posts indicating he may be open to regime change. Then, the guys walk through Democrats' response to the attacks, the latest from Trump's ongoing National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, and a New York City mayoral primary that's both frustrating and exciting.

On today's show, I discuss the reality behind love bombing: what it is, why it works, and how it shows up in both vanilla and kink dynamics. We'll look at the psychology behind the behavior, the emotional impact on the person receiving it, and the signs you might already be in it without realizing. From rushed intimacy to coercive affection, I break down how love bombing can distort consent, erode pacing, and blur the line between connection and control. Whether you're a Dom, sub, or just someone trying to understand where intensity ends and manipulation begins.Continue the discussion on Fetlife: @Enhanced-MindDon't forget to hit the follow button and rate my show 5 stars so others may find it.

Hi my lil yappers
Toxic relationships don't usually start with obvious red flags. More often, they start with connection, someone who seems to really see you, who shows up in big ways, who makes you feel chosen. But over time, that connection can shift into something confusing, isolating, and hard to recognize for what it is. I talk with Elizabeth Chambers, Host, Investigative Journalist and Executive Producer of the docuseries “Toxic,” about the psychological patterns behind abusive relationships - how they take shape, why they're so easy to miss, and what keeps people from leaving. Elizabeth shares the stories of survivors she interviewed, many of whom came from loving, stable homes and never expected to end up in something harmful. We also get into how culture plays a role. The fairytales we grow up with, the rom-com tropes, the magazines that taught us how to “get the guy” - they all send messages that can make it easier for abusers to gain trust and control. And when someone starts tailoring themselves to your vulnerabilities, mirroring your interests, slowly taking over the parts of your life that matter most, it rarely looks like abuse in the moment. I talk through the tools I see used again and again in narcissistic relationships - love bombing, gaslighting, financial control - and how easy it is for good, smart people to get caught in them. And we explore what real support looks like when someone you care about is stuck in a relationship that's hurting them. This episode is a reminder to pay attention. To stay curious. To talk about the things we're taught to keep private. Because awareness is the first step, and no one should have to figure it out alone.

In this powerful two-part episode of Women of Impact, host Dr. Ann Burgess is joined by renowned criminal profiler Dr. Ann Burgess (yes, both as host and guest!) to break down the harrowing testimonies emerging from the Diddy trial. Focusing on the voices of women who have faced extreme danger and abuse, the episode exposes not just the acts themselves, but also the social and psychological mechanisms that keep survivors silent and trapped. Together, Dr. Burgess and Dr. Burgess delve into the chilling details of Brianna Bongoulan's and Cassie's experiences, emphasizing the importance of understanding trauma responses and the realities of coercive control. Listeners are taken step by step through the dynamics of abusive relationships, the difficulties women face in coming forward, and the bystander dilemmas that keep entire communities quiet. Dr. Burgess shares expert insights into the physiology of trauma, societal victim-blaming, and the layered complications for friends and witnesses. If you're looking for clarity on why women don't or can't “just leave,” and want to empower yourself or others with real-life strategies, don't skip part one of this episode.

In this episode, I give my analysis of two recent massive blow-ups in the spiritual wellness and self help influencer space: femininity teacher Wizard Liz' husband cheating on her while she was 4 months pregnant, and self-styled wellness 'guru' Aubrey Marcus basically forcing his gorgeous yet miserable wife into a throuple situation. You may think this is irrelevant to you; maybe it is - I myself had never heard of any of these people before last week. However, there are some interesting similarities here between these stories, the most troubling of which (to anyone who is spiritually minded) is how both of these men used spirituality in predatory ways to manipulate the women in question. Marcus claimed the Goddess Isis told him to impregnate both women; Liz' husband said he was 'spiritually guided' to 'run into her' at an airport. Both men use spirituality to manipulate, and both men are really good examples of what I'd refer to as a toxic, wounded feminine energy. They manipulate, and are unable or unwilling to occupy healthy masculine energy which - above all - protects and contains. For many these two scenarios seemed surprising or out of character, but in this episode I explain some red flags in these men, and failures of the women involved, that all can learn from, especially women who are dating men, or women who are in relationships where they feel coerced to allow indiscretions. I analyze the situation in terms of energetic polarity and healthy/unhealthy feminine energy, and discuss the difference between parroting spiritual/mental health teachings, and actually being able to embody the knowledge we as influencers espouse. I also discuss how these relationships were prematurely escalated with love bombing and false intimacy, and how you can learn from these situations to avoid ending up in something similar yourself. -Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Relationship coach and podcast host Sabrina Zohar joined me to explore about what really matters in modern dating. We got into growth-minded partners, emotional regulation, nervous system work, and why self-awareness isn't the same as actually doing the work. We also unpacked how to spot narcissists (hint: it's not just someone who doesn't text back), the misuse of trauma talk, and the pitfalls of dating advice culture. If you care about relationships with depth, not drama, this one's for you.
