In this episode, I delve into the neurobiological topic of pair bonding. I discuss how pair bonding is a core component of romantic relationships and how it is a natural instinct within the brain. I also explore the role of oxytocin and dopamine in the pair bonding process, highlighting how it brings pleasure and a sense of ease. Additionally, I touch upon the challenges that can arise in long-term relationships and the importance of understanding that the intensity of the bond may change over time. This episode aims to provide insights and spark conversations about the dynamics of pair bonding in relationships.
