#41: Love Bombing - Intermittent Reinforcement vs Continuous Reinforcement
In this episode, my sister and I break down the psychology behind love bombing — why it feels so intense, why it’s so confusing, and why so many people get stuck in its cycle.
We talk about the difference between intermittent reinforcement (high highs, low lows, mixed signals, unpredictable attention) and continuous reinforcement (steady effort, consistency, emotional safety). One keeps you addicted. The other helps you build real love.
Together, we share how to recognize the patterns, why the intermittent cycle can feel intoxicating even when it’s unhealthy, and how to rewire your nervous system to choose stability over chaos.
This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned whether someone’s intensity was love — or just manipulation masked as passion.
