Who is this workbook for?
The Overcoming Limerence Workbook is for anyone who finds that obsessive crushes are disrupting their ability to live a happy, fulfilled day-to-day life. It’s for people who desire to overcome this crush, but don’t know exactly how or where to start.
What will you learn?
The Overcoming Limerence Workbook can help you learn what limerence is (and how it’s different from love), how limerence forms (and why you became a limerent), and ways to transform limerent weaknesses into strengths (and prepare for a positive, limernece free future!).

1. The background
The term “limerence” was coined in 1979 by psychologist Dorothy Tennov, who noted that certain people tended to be obsessed with securing the object of their affections.
Tennov’s research indicated that up to 95% of people may experience an obsessive crush at some point in their lives. However, some people experience repeating crushes that are overwhelming, unfulfilling, and destructive to their well-being. These people have limerence.
Limerence is not love. It is a dopamine-driven delusion that can affect all areas of life, including sense of self, mood, impulse control, achievement, and relationships.
Building awareness of what limerence is, recognizing its impact on your life, understanding how thoughts and beliefs fuel it, and making a committed plan to live purposefully can help you reprogramme your mind and prepare you for a fulfilled future without limerence.
