Discover the truth behind your attachment and how to finally break free for good.
Letting Go of Romantic Obsession explores one of the most painful and misunderstood relationship experiences. The pull of obsessive attachment can feel overwhelming, addictive, and impossible to escape. It often damages self esteem, disrupts daily life, and keeps you emotionally invested in someone who cannot truly meet your needs.
In this compassionate and insightful book, therapist and author Sophie April unpacks the psychology of limerence, a powerful form of emotional fixation that is often mistaken for love. Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience, she explains why romantic obsession develops, how the brain becomes addicted to emotional highs and lows, and why certain attachments feel so intense and consuming.
This book goes beyond surface level advice to examine the deeper emotional wounds behind obsessive attachment, including unmet childhood needs, low self worth, trauma bonding, and anxious attachment patterns. You will learn how unconscious projections can cause you to fixate on one person, even when the connection is unhealthy or unreciprocated.
Inside this book, you will learn:
- What limerence really is and how it differs from genuine love
- Why emotional addiction forms in romantic relationships
- How self esteem and identity loss fuel obsessive attachment
- The role of the inner child and unmet emotional needs
- How to recognise triggers and manage intrusive thoughts
- Why letting go feels so painful and how to do it safely
- Practical tools to detach emotionally and break the cycle
- Therapeutic exercises to rebuild confidence and emotional balance
Whether you are currently experiencing romantic obsession, recovering from a painful attachment, or seeking deeper self awareness in your relationships, Letting Go of Romantic Obsession is a must-read for lasting change.
