Very unique post: is it possible to feel the limerence glimmer in non-romantic relationships?
Over the years, many of you have asked me whether platonic limerence is possible. Can these intensely euphoric and painful feelings exist WITHOUT a romantic element? After all, we’ve all had a friend whose energy we’ve felt drawn to (or an acquaintance we’ve found intoxicatingly magnetic). In short, I would say yes… but with nuances.

Exit The Dream: How to Permanently Cure Depersonalisation and Derealisation
This book is a little different from my typical content. It’s not about limerence, it’s designed to teach you how to heal from depersonalisation-derealisation disorder (DPDR).
In this book, you will learn all about:
– What brief dissociation is: the ‘freeze’ response
– What chronic dissociation is: a cycle fuelled by panic disorder & OCD
– How DPDR is closely linked to panic/anxiety, but more complex (this will answer your question: “Why do I sometimes feel dissociated even when I’m calm?”)…
Exciting news: I’ve released a brand-new, 2024 edition of The Limerent Mind!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve finally published the new version of The Limerent Mind, which took me months to edit. The original 2020 version changed thousands of lives, and it’s one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever created. But I knew I wanted to enrich the book with many more tips, tricks, scientific insights and psychological techniques, to make recovery much more simple for you all to achieve.
It’s available as a PDF, audiobook, and on Amazon as an eBook or paperback!
