How to Get Over Limerence

Limerence is a term coined by Dr. Dorothy Tennov in her 1979 book entitled Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. In her words, “Limerence is an involuntary interpersonal state that involves an acute longing for emotional reciprocation, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and emotional dependence on another person.”
