Episode description
Welcome to the YNA Mental Health Podcast, where we explore important topics that affect our mental health and well-being. In this episode, we're diving into the world of love bombing, a manipulative behavior that can be difficult to spot in a new relationship. Our hosts, Cheyenne, Will, Brandan, and Sina, shed light on the term's origins, which can be traced back to cult recruitment techniques. Love bombing can fall into three categories: malicious, unintentional, or unaware. They stress the importance of understanding the intent behind someone's behavior towards you and provide a helpful test for listeners to determine if they may be unintentionally love-bombing someone. It's crucial to be aware of the signs of love bombing and to take things slow in a new relationship. Join us on this episode of the YNA Mental Health and learn how to recognize and protect yourself from the dangerous effects of love bombing.
