Throughout our lives, we strive to find a balance between private life and work, so that neither comes at the expense of the other, and that we feel comfortable in both. However, love can take our minds.
Love takes our minds is an expression, but there are really big changes, because there are chemical and physiological processes that affect our emotions, but also our behavior.
The hormones oxytocin and vasopressin play a role in social bonding and intimacy. Oxytocin not only plays a role in strengthening the bond between baby and mother, but also in the emotional bonding of lovers. And vasopressin is responsible for the fidelity of couples.
Dopamine is a brain neurotransmitter that is part of our reward system. His liberation is also related to his love development. This is when we feel happiness.
The levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and norepinephrine also increase. This causes strong heart palpitations, stomach cramps, and excitement.
Studies have shown that the reward center of the brain of lovers is activated during falling in love and thus the feeling of joy increases.
We know that at this time those rose-colored glasses appear and put on our eyes, through which everything is much more beautiful, but we really lose the possibility of rational thinking for a while. In addition, we focus much more on our partner at this time.
An American professor couple also works as couple therapists and were looking for the answer to how love develops and why it ends? Although love is a studied area, it is still less understood. Robert Schwartz suspected that love was kept alive by some element of a biological nature. The reward center of the brain was discovered by the father of the female member of the couple (Jacqueline Olds). This is a part of the brain that is an evolutionary product and is also involved in the feeling of love. They know this from the fact that this part of the brain is activated when talking about a loved one. In such cases, chemical substances flood the brain and even become visible in various physical manifestations: sweating, redness.
