In this engaging episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the chemistry of attraction and how it shapes our relationships. Ever wondered why that initial spark with someone feels so magical? Dr. Vitz breaks down the science behind it, explaining the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, and how these chemicals can sometimes lead us astray in the search for true connection.
Through humorous anecdotes and heartfelt reflections, you'll learn why the idea of 'you complete me' might not be the best approach to dating. Instead, Dr. Vitz advocates for recognising your own completeness and seeking partnerships that enhance rather than complete you. The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they discuss the importance of being whole before entering a relationship and how to avoid the pitfalls of dating someone who isn't a good match.
With a touch of humour, they liken building a relationship to starting a fire in the wilderness - it requires effort, resilience, and the right materials to keep it burning. If you've ever been swept away by the thrill of new romance only to find yourself questioning its sustainability, this episode is for you. It offers practical advice on how to cultivate meaningful relationships that stand the test of time.
So, if you're curious about the chemistry behind attraction and want to learn how to foster healthier relationships, this episode is not to be missed.
