Hey deserving listeners, today's episode is just for patrons of the podcast on patreon.com,

0:06.2

but I have a little intro first. This is going to be a deep dive on love bombing. There is a lot

0:12.9

of talk about love bombing on the internet and among clients and I thought I would do a deep dive

0:19.1

on it. So I could learn more about it and also explain it to all y'all out there. Also at the end

0:25.5

of this episode, I'm going to analyze Big Ed from 90 Day Fiancé. Is he a narcissist? Is he

0:32.4

love bombing Liz? Did he love bomb Rose? If you're into that show, you might be interested in that

0:37.7

at the end of this episode. But first let's go into the definition of love bombing. There are two main

types of love bombing, which are really very different from each other, even though most people

1:30.7

particularly at the beginning of a relationship, to manipulate and control someone. And again,

1:35.4

this is done on purpose. The person, the love bomber knows they are love bombing. These people

1:41.4

are sometimes psychopathic or sadistic abusers. And like I said, this is what is usually being

1:48.2

discussed on the internet, even though this is a very rare type of love bombing in my experience.

1:54.8

The second main type of love bombing is a subconscious effort to gain attachment security

2:01.2

through hasty and extreme affection, often with those suffering from narcissistic personality

2:07.0

disorder, borderline personality disorder, or histrionic personality disorder. Cluster B essentially,

2:12.9

the rest of the cluster B besides psychopaths. So again, to review this, this is a subconscious
