Theory Of Love
Psychologists have discovered that it is indeed very difficult to get over one’s first love and the reasons are more “chemical” than emotional.
Psychiatrist Thomas Lewis, author of “A General Theory of Love” says in “Psychology Today”, “the adolescent brain is exposed to heightened levels of testosterone and progesterone, the steroid sex hormones involved in sexual intensity.
There’s also an increase in oxytocin, the same hormone that aids mother-and-child bonding following birth.” Thus, as “Psychology Today” points out, it is “chemistry” that “sets the stage for a once-in-a-lifetime sexual intensity paired with a unique opportunity for attachment – creating a model of love that persists for life.”
Getting over any love affair is a painful process that requires time for healing and time to forget. But trying to start afresh after the first romantic tryst is the most difficult.
