Understanding the difference between chemistry and compatibility can help us understand that just because it feels good, doesn’t mean it will be good. We confuse chemistry with compatibility, intensity with intimacy and attention with intention, without every talking about the foundations of what compatibility actually means. 
Louise & therapist Dr. Tari Mack cover some game changing advice:

The concepts of chemistry vs. compatibility

Why love isn’t enough

6 signs of toxic chemistry (trauma bonding, breadcrumbing, toxic chemistry, rollercoaster dating, inconsistency, the anxious-avoidant cycle)

Why you can’t sustain a relationship on just chemistry

What compatibility is

The 12 signs of chemistry that you need to establish to really see if you are a good match.
