I still canāt get over the feeling of wanting someone to be with me every day, wake me up each morning and help me get out of bed, meet me for coffee every day, text me to check on me each day, giving me an encouraging word, telling me how thankful they are that Iām on earth and in their life. I had no attachment to my mother. Father traveled a lot. Non intentional emotional neglect is still neglect. Iām working on it. Trying to be there for myself. Thankful to PT and his videos ā¤

I had a similar experience. I went to hospital when I was small for a minor operation. I felt so cared for by the nurses, even though they were just probably professional and warm, that hospital came like something to look forward to, or to wish for. That little bit of warmth and caring was something outside of my normal experience.

Limerance is the closest thing to drug addiction I've ever experienced. I was in such an unsafe and unhappy place in my marriage that I built a whole fantasy world with someone else. It ran my life 100% for almost 5 years...I neglected my family, made some really crazy and risky choices. I finally "got sober" and cut off the extramarital relationship, but it was so difficult to stop thinking about this person every second of every day (the OBSESSION!) Looking back, I was so desperate for an escape/rescue from reality that I built a whole alternate reality with a person who was NOT my soulmate, as much as I wanted him to be. My mantra to shake it was "The strongest wolf is the one you feed"...but I fully admit that I could NOT break off that relationship until I was ready and was working my Codependency Steps. So glad things are better now...thanks Patrick, your videos and podcasts were a big part of helping me to wake up from the dream fog I was in for so long.

I feel like Hollywood movies and TV shows like set a big limerant tone. Like so much unrealistic fantasy, longing etc that we grow up watching. In my life limerence has made me feel a high like nothing else and a low like nothing else. Cant wait to tell them they are just a bozo on the bus of my life i really want to. have to keep snapping myself back into reality because i live in the clouds it feels like

My limerence was so bad it just jumped from person to person until I finally removed romance from my life. I didnāt even know this is what was happening in a repeating pattern. Itās embarrassing, but I have to just give myself grace because to move forward and make something of my life, I have to. This is the first time in my life, at 39, that Iām finally only focused on myself and my own growth and health. Itās like being free from prison: liberating, I can breathe freely, and also so angry about the years I lost. The forward movement is so slow, but it is happening.

"A toxic parent will expect adult behavior from a child without ever teaching them those behaviors."
My childhood, summarized. Neglect is a terrible thing, and it leaves an emptiness and despair that feels like it will never be filled. Lately I'm struggling every day with my anger towards them. They just didn't understand how to be parents.

"Trauma survivors think we're going to lose people before we even get to day hello to them" - 6:50 - this is a really powerful statement!

The more I learn about trauma, the more I see how things I thought were normal are just trauma response...
