When Analysing Your LO, Ask Yourself “What Does This Say About Me?”
Limerence is a mind-bending condition that unleashes an array of obsessional emotions, motivations and behaviours in you. Of course, first and foremost, it drives you to analyse every last thing about your LO. You’ll find yourself incredibly interested in your LO’s life, personal relationships, pastimes, vices, and innermost thoughts.
You’ll catch yourself hanging onto their every last word, dissecting everything they say as if they’re imparting the most valuable information in the world.
But, this isn’t ‘innocent curiosity’ – it’s a destructive symptom of limerence, and is incidental to your desire for complete enmeshment with your LO. It’s keeping you trapped.
Here’s how to deal with (and rise above) your ‘fascination’ with your LO, and their personality quirks and life.
Stepping Sideways Out of Pain: Embrace Surreal, Unusual Things!
Recovering from limerence is, at points, painful. But, I’m going to teach you a trick that will help you feel better, whenever you feel like you are slipping into a depressive, delusional state.
Essentially, it’s a highly reliable way to change focus and step sideways out of your slump. This is the ONLY way to make heightened limerent longing shrink – trying to fight and wriggle out of the pain simply does not work.

Extreme Obsessionality: Extinguish The Problem, Not Your Inner Flame
Some of us are far more obsessional and prone to rumination than others. In itself, this is not inherently ‘pathological’ or an issue; having an affinity for honing in on certain topics comes with many splendid advantages, enabling you to both a). pull off highly impressive personal and professional achievements and b). live life with a certain emotional richness that someone lacking your ‘intensity’ simply never will.
An Unexpected Way That Limerence Derails You
Limerence has a subtle, insidious way of entrapping you which extends beyond its impact on your mental health. In short, it is the fact that limerence feels so sentimentally meaningful that it can seem implausible, unfair and downright impossible to believe that it is something that you actually have to ‘get over’. In order to extirpate these doubts of yours, I am going to present you with a completely novel way of viewing limerence: as one of many *emergent phenomena* that your brain creates on a daily basis.
The Enormous Power of Reprogramming Your Limerent Mind
The foolproof way to alter the beliefs and assumptions you subscribe to is to communicate with your subconscious mind when it is most receptive. Right before you fall asleep, you are certain to catch your prime window of Alpha brain wave activity (8-12 Hz). In this state of relaxed wakefulness, your brain is extremely impressionable. Anything that you feel to be real during this time is taken by your brain as objective reality. This will induce the formation of new neural pathways and, consequentially, new stances towards yourself, others, romance and life.
