Understanding Limerence
Limerence can significantly impact daily life, and it's essential to recognize when it may require professional help, particularly through cognitive behavioral therapy. While feelings of limerence are common and not indicative of being "broken," distinguishing it from new relationship energy (NRE) can help avoid unnecessary suffering and poor choices in relationships. Understanding these concepts can lead to healthier emotional experiences and interactions.In this clip

What is limerence as discussed in episode AMP #186 Dr. Wednesday Martin & Whitney Miller and the clip Understanding New Relationship Energy, as well as in episode 228 of the podcast "The Psychology of Limerence" and the clip "Managing Limerence"?
I have a question about this episode 228. The psychology of limerance and this Managing Limerence. I love my girlfriend and have expressed that to her many times. However, one day I suddenly started getting scared about not loving her, and I don't want to lose that love. I want to be with her because I love her smile and her energy. I'm beginning to wonder if my thoughts about not loving her are intrusive or if I'm scared of deep commitment. She is going to move into my house in a few days. I genuinely choose to love her, but I'm very sad thinking that she might not be the one. How can I better understand these feelings and ensure that I'm making the right choice?
