Is it love that you are feeling? Are you feeling love, or is it just lust, or even anxiety about the relationship?
Can you be yourself in the relationship, or do you feel that you need to adapt to keep the other person? See my full video about love, lust and relationships on my YouTube channel. *x

Is it love or is it anxiety? When falling in love, many “feel good” chemicals are activated in the brain. If we fall in love with someone unpredictable, these feeling can be amplified if we feel anxious about the relationship. If the other person pulls away, then finally gives us some attention, the relief felt can mimic the feeling of love. We can end up in a vicious addictive cycle that can be hard to break, just like an addiction.

Lust is about the physical desire for someone, it is driven by s*x. Unfortunately, lust doesn’t tell us wether the person is actually right for us or about the longterm chances of the relationship surviving. Lust can be the PART of forming a relationship with someone, but if a relationship is built solely on lust, then it won’t last. Full video about love, lust and relationships in on my YouTube channel.

We often use the word love to describe very different experiences.

Attraction.
Excitement.
Obsession.
Attachment.

But psychologically, these feelings don’t all come from the same place.

In my new video, I explore the three systems that shape romantic relationships - lust, romantic obsession, and attachment - and why we sometimes confuse intensity with love.

Looking back at your past relationships…do you think what you felt was lust, obsession, or attachment?
I’d love to hear your reflections.

You’re both capable. You manage pressure, deadlines, responsibility.

So why does your relationship feel harder than everything else?
Recurring conflict is rarely about the surface issue.
It’s usually a pattern, one partner withdraws, the other pursues. Both feel misunderstood.

Couples therapy isn’t about surface-level communication tools.
It’s about understanding the relational pattern that activates under stress, and changing it.

Fear of success is a fear of the consequences of success, not of the success itself. It is important to work out what you are fear; is it a family value that rich people are bad? Is a fear of standing out? Once you understand what the fear is, you can work on that fear and strive towards success. Full video is on my Youtube channel.

If you fear something, you are actually fearing the potential negative consequence. If you fear success, you are not fearing the positives that you image, you fear any potential negatives. These fears are often subconsciously formed in childhood. Therefore it is important to learn what associations you formed about success when you were a child, to enable you to break free and succeed!
