Why You’re Scientifically Addicted to Your Situationship & How to Let Them Go with Amy Chan
Relationsh*t with Kamie CrawfordShow Notes
Besties… if you’ve ever spiraled over a situationship, stalked an ex’s Instagram like it’s your part-time job (be so forreal - we’ve all done it), or wondered why you keep attracting the same kind of emotionally unavailable person - you’ve come to the right place. This week, we’re joined by dating expert, author of Unsingle, and founder of Breakup Bootcamp, Amy Chan to talk about the psychology behind heartbreak, attachment styles, dating burnout, avoidant behavior, “icks,” and why situationships can sometimes hurt more than real relationships. Amy breaks down how breakups affect the brain like withdrawal, why closure doesn’t always feel like closure and the dopamine loops that keep us attached to inconsistent people. Trust us, you’re gonna want to take notes on this one.
