It’s the buzzword of the internet at the moment - LIMERENCE! But what is it? Where is the line between lust and limerence? How can we spot the difference between limerence and love?
Joining the podcast today is Thais Gibson. Thais is a counselor, author, podcaster and co-founder of The Personal Development School.

We unpack:

- If we can’t get our needs met in the present, we get them met by fantasies of the future or memories of the past
- Pedestals, people pleasing and maladaptive behaviours caused by limerent relationships
- The 3 stages of limerence; infatuation, emotional addiction and dissipation phase
- Navigating different power stages with a partner
- Which attachment styles suffer from limerence the most
- What to do if you find yourself the object of someone else’s limerence
- Can limerence turn into stalking?
