If someone was deeply hurt or abandoned as a child, they may be averse to becoming close to someone who may do the same. The fear reaction is to avoid relations, thus avoiding the pain. The more one avoids the source of their fear, the more the fear increases.”]]> 2018-11-19 18:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_jones8/s6wvq821if57/wish/306044993 stephanie_jones8 https://padlet.com/stephanie_jones8/s6wvq821if57/wish/306045614 Treatment (depends on how serious the phobia is)

Anyone who’s been in love knows that it can be more than a little distracting, and now we understand why. Neuroscientists have linked passionate love with intense changes in emotion and attention, as well as reduced cognitive control — meaning that you’re less able to control your attention. ]]> 2018-11-19 18:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_jones8/s6wvq821if57/wish/306048940 stephanie_jones8 https://padlet.com/stephanie_jones8/s6wvq821if57/wish/306049275 Love can become an addiction. We all know that falling in love can lead to cravings and obsessive thoughts, and the desire to spend every moment with your partner. Sound like an addiction? That’s because it is. Now, neuroscience research has shown that love quite literally is like a drug: Falling in love activates the same system in the brain as 🤬 addiction. 

“Romantic love is an obsession, it possesses you,” Dr. Helen Fisher, anthropologist and author of Why We Love, said in a TED talk about the brain and love. “You can’t stop thinking about another human being... Romantic love is one of the most addictive substances on Earth.”
