Healing from Love Bombing and Future Faking

Healing from love bombing and future faking is not as simple as “realizing it was manipulation and moving on.” The aftermath feels more like recovering from a psychological collision you never saw coming. At first, you thought you had finally stepped into the kind of romantic intensity people write novels about—the overwhelming devotion, the declarations of certainty, the future plans that made you feel chosen in a way you’d never experienced. Only later do you realize that the connection you were building was one-sided, while the future they promised was never meant to unfold.
