  • Enthusiastically matching the energy of an anxiously attached partner is a rite of passage many would rather not have walked.

  • It’s a great question, and I think it’s not exclusive.

    Obsessive limerent obsession can be driven by reward circuits, and those _can_ be extinquished by more straight-forward therapy, but if it’s driven by unmet emotional needs, it’s often quickly replaced by some other maladaptive coping mechanism (hopefully slightly less unhealthy).

  • Mere talk therapy is infamously useless for attachment trauma, which is relational and somatic

  • People with severely disordered attachment _will_ seek out humans, again and again, to fill those unfulfillable needs, and leave bodies and psyches in their wake.

    So I think there is a case to be made for harm reduction.

  • I agree, but not because I think that those users had stable attachment patterns and have been corrupted by an unscrupulous company, but because there is unacknowledged, often hidden, but severe pain in a large % of the population.
