154 - Why a situationship f**ks you up more than a relationship ft. Louise Rumball

OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball and leading therapists

Situationships can be crazy, soul crushing, exhilarating journeys. Who can relate? One moment you’re on top of the world, the next you’re desperately waiting for them to text you back feeling like the world is going to end. You’re not alone if you’ve been left wondering how so much damage could be caused by such a short-lived experience. Today, in a highly requested solo episode, Louise dives deep into the REAL WHY behind how and why these situationships can f**k you up.

Louise gets into the juicy details of:

1. How situationships can be tied to early life experiences, brain structure, nervous system, and neurotransmitter function (yes really).
2. The rollercoaster of emotions that come with a situationship
3. How the concepts of hope & silence can drive our inner child crazy (and how inconsistency of the highs and lows can exacerbate this cycle)
4. The biochemistry of obsession
5. The concept of fantasy bonding & maladaptive daydreaming (and how it is actually a coping mechanism)
6. How imbalanced neurotransmitters can leave you craving situationships

And more.

Louise has been there. You’re not alone. You’re not going crazy and when you listen to this episode you will understand WHAT is going on a biochemical level and HOW this person has such a grip over you. Welcome to clarity, peace and healing!
