Vampire Relationships in Romantic Partnerships

The Modern Day Romantic

In this episode, I discuss the concept of vampire relationships, which are characterized by a strong early survival instinct, the need for relationship in order to survive, and a deep, primal fear of abandonment. I explain how this instinct is wired in our brains from infancy and how it can affect our adult relationships if early development gets thwarted. I also explore the dynamics of the "host and parasite" roles in these types of relationships, as well as the concepts of being overly protective as a form of possessiveness, being a muse, and relational fusion. Throughout the episode, I provide insights and reflections on the complexity of these dynamics and the impact they can have on our lives. Listen to gain a deeper understanding of vampire relationships and their psychological implications! #energyvampire #relationships #love #healing #psychology #marriage
