In this episode, I discuss the concept of vampire relationships, which are characterized by a strong early survival instinct, the need for relationship in order to survive, and a deep, primal fear of abandonment. I explain how this instinct is wired in our brains from infancy and how it can affect our adult relationships if early development gets thwarted. I also explore the dynamics of the "host and parasite" roles in these types of relationships, as well as the concepts of being overly protective as a form of possessiveness, being a muse, and relational fusion. Throughout the episode, I provide insights and reflections on the complexity of these dynamics and the impact they can have on our lives. Listen to gain a deeper understanding of vampire relationships and their psychological implications! #energyvampire #relationships #love #healing #psychology #marriage

In this episode, I delve into the concept of individuation and its connection to love at first sight. Individuation refers to the journey of self-realization and reaching a state of self-actualization in relation to the world.

This episode is the first in a series on love at first sight. In it, I explore reincarnation as one possible explanation for the phenomenon. I cite a few American scholars and thought leaders on the topic to encourage listeners to reflect on their own resonance (or lack thereof) on this as being a potential reason for why people experience feeling like they have known someone before whom they have just met, particularly in terms of a romantic mate. #reincarnation #loveatfirstsight #love #pastlives #karma
