About this episode

Dr. Judy Rosenberg discusses love bombing and its effects on emotional perception and relationships.

In this episode of Dr. Judy WTF, Dr. Judy Rosenberg explores how love bombing can create an intense emotional high—and why positive projection may cause us to see qualities in someone that they haven’t actually earned. Through her Mind Map approach, Dr. Judy explains how childhood neglect, abandonment wounds, and negative core beliefs can make people vulnerable to inconsistent affection, breadcrumbing, and narcissistic relationships. Discover the difference between genuine romantic interest and manipulation, why intermittent attention can feel addictive, and what a healthy, reciprocal relationship should really look like.
