“How do you know if you are being Love-Bombed?” is one of the most common dating questions we receive.  

 

Love bombing is a common tactic used by a narcissistic abuser. They shower you with gifts, words, affection until they feel like they have you hooked. Once you are hooked, they change their tone and become highly critical of you until they discard you altogether. 

 

Being on the receiving end of love bombing can be seductive and overwhelming.  It can happen in any relationship, not just romantic.  So it's crucial for everyone to learn the signs to avoid getting stuck in the web. 

 

In this week's episode, we will be breaking down what love bombing is, what the signs are, what the narcissistic abuse cycle is, and what part love bombing comes in, and answering all our listeners' questions about love bombing. You won't want to miss this one!

Have you ever thought about how you relate to other people? Have you considered the ways you either trust or hold back trust, and how ingrained patterns of behavior set the tone for your relationships?

​

If so, one of the big pieces of how this takes place is your attachment style.

We all have one. Attachment styles begin to form when we are very young. The way they develop shape our security, our ability to deal with stress, how we set boundaries and more.

​

There are four basic attachment styles:

​

Secure, anxious, avoidant and fearful.

 

The benefit of knowing which attachment style you resonate with the most is the reward of self-knowledge.

This past week we were rocked with the news of a passing by someone big in the personal development space, Dave Hollis. Anytime sudden loss happens, whether to you directly, or when you hear about someone you "know" or someone that you  follow online,  it gets you thinking. Loss comes with a lot of pain, but it also has the power to drive love and and purpose in a lot of ways. 

 

Sometimes with loss we get the opportunity to do a lot of reflecting and look at the relationships that we have with others, and it gives us the desire to strengthen those relationships because we can really see that life is too short. It’s too short to stay in relationship limbo.
