Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall-The Psychology of the Love Bomb
Psychology of Love Bomb. In this eye-opening episode, Doug and Kendall dive into the explosive world of love bombing—when affection comes on strong, fast, and dangerously sweet. At first, it feels like a fairy tale: constant attention, grand declarations, and overwhelming praise. But beneath the surface, love bombing is often a tool of manipulation and emotional control. Drawing from both academic theory and clinical insight, the duo unpacks the psychological roots of this behavior, its connection to narcissism and insecure attachment, and how to recognize when affection becomes a red flag. Whether you've been love-bombed, know someone who has, or want to understand the difference between genuine love and romantic overload, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical advice.
