What is limerance, and how can Hypno-CBT help?
The Hypno-CBT podcast with Arrive Therapy
What is limerance, and how can Hypno-CBT help? Limerence is an intense, sometimes obsessive state whereby a person becomes obsessively preoccupied with another individual, often accompanied by an overwhelming desire for reciprocation. It involves heightened thoughts, some idealisation of the person, and is linked to anxious ambivalent attachment style, in my opinion.

Title – Show 11 – here we look at ‘holding patterns’, stimming and tics.
The Hypno-CBT podcast with Arrive Therapy
In this show, we take a deeper dive into how a regulated body is controlled by our ‘will’, or our ‘Self’, in terms of a network of trains and carriages, carrying our emotional energy units around the mind and body. We look at how we process and discharge energy and emotions, and how stimming, often exhibited by autistic folks, and tics, are expressions of energy discharge and regulation. We conclude by tying this idea in with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy. Visit for more info. Find us at This podcast is for education purposes only; NOT a substitute for advice from a Doctor or...
