Is it Love Bombing or Codependent Affection Flooding?

Is it Love Bombing or Codependent Affection Flooding? / Love bombing gets a lot of attention and is usually discussed alongside narcissism or when we discuss trauma bonding. But what I’ve seen more often in my over 35 years of experience is something I call Attention Flooding, which can look like love bombing, but its origins are actually from codependency and feelings of low self-worth. Today I’m teaching you the difference between love bombing and Attention Flooding, the signs to look for, and my top three tips for building healthier and more fulfilling relationships based on mutual respect and genuine affection.
