At first, it feels like a fairytale - intense affection, grand gestures, and promises of forever. But when the honeymoon phase fades, love bombing can leave you feeling confused, drained, and questioning everything.
In this episode, Joanna and Sam break down:
- What love bombing really is (and why it feels so addictive).
- The hidden motivations behind it—beyond just narcissism.
- How to spot the warning signs before you get swept away.
- What to do if you’re the one love-bombing without realising it.
Plus, we talk about how attachment styles play a role, the love bombing cycle, and practical ways to protect yourself. If you’ve ever felt like a relationship was moving too fast but didn’t want to slow it down, this episode is for you.
