Primas Pero Not Really

Love Bombing, Red Flags & What Parents Should Watch For

This one is for the parents… and honestly, for all of us. How do you know when attention becomes control? This week on Primas Pero Not Really, we sat down with clinical psychologist Luz Maria Berrio to talk about the relationship conversations more families should be having earlier. We get into: 🚩 Red flags vs pink flags ❤️ Love bombing vs genuine interest 📍 Why teens share locations 🧠 Narcissistic traits vs actual narcissism 🚧 Boundaries vs control 👩‍👧 Signs parents should pay attention to in teen relationships 📱 How social media is changing relationships for teens—and adults One moment that really stayed with us: Just because something feels like love… doesn’t always mean it’s healthy. We talk about what’s normal, what’s not, and how parents can create space for these conversations without judgment. And somehow… we also ended up talking about identity, growing up, and why adults may not be as different from teenagers as we think. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
