160 - DATING - When you're really really obsessed with them: Exploring Limerence

This episode is for when you're obsessed. We're talking like really, really obsessed. You know, thinking about them 24x7, imagining you see them everywhere you go - hoping for a chance encounter? Basically, mad fantasy bonding. And this episode? It's to help you understand that you're not alone and you’re not going crazy- you're actually probably experiencing something called limerence. 
Limerence is an intense, all-consuming longing for someone, even if they don't feel the same way or you barely know them. And guess what? It's deeply biological. That's the part no one talks about.Today, in one of our most requested episodes, Louise chats with Biology of Trauma and Nervous System Expert Sarah Murphy as the pair gets into:

The cocktail of hormones fueling our obsessive thoughts and tendencies.

What’s happening in our bodies when we fantasize about that special someone.

Why we feel lovesick and chase chemistry?

The link between low self esteem and fantasy bonding.

The root cause of a dysregulated nervous system. 

Why life feels boring without a chaotic relationship.

Louise’s daily routine for a regulated nervous system. 

The magic of somatic healing practices.

They also tell you HOW to navigate and alleviate this state and how to help your biology from obsessing over that one person you just can't stop thinking about.
