And what actually happens inside our minds when wanting so meone starts to take over? What is borderline personality disorder? Join L eon\, a psychologist\, for a Watch & Talk exploring scenes from the new an d hugely popular film Obsession\, using its darkly funny take on romance a s a starting point for understanding the psychology of obsessive partners. Why can rejection sometimes make desire stronger instead of killing it? W hy do people idealise someone they barely know\, read enormous meaning int o tiny signals\, become intensely jealous or behave in ways that seem comp letely irrational from the outside? The film exaggerates these behaviours for comedy and drama\, but beneath the jokes are patterns that can be surp risingly recognisable\, from the ordinary crush that goes much too far to genuinely unhealthy fixation. As we watch\, Leon will help us unpack what may be happening underneath these behaviours: attachment\, reward and anti cipation\, fear of abandonment\, idealisation\, jealousy\, emotional regul ation and the stories our brains create about other people. We'll also loo k carefully at borderline personality disorder\, what it actually is\, how difficulties around relationships and abandonment can sometimes appear wi thin it\, and why it's important not to casually diagnose someone simply b ecause they're intense\, jealous or obsessive. You don't need to have seen the film or know anything about psychology to join. Expect funny scenes\, uncomfortable recognition\, plenty of discussion and a chance to look ben eath behaviour we casually call “crazy” and ask a much more interestin g question: what makes a human mind become so completely fixated on anothe r person? Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs and watch scene s from a film that everybody's talking about right now for very good reaso n. And\, of course\, let's have a deep\, fun [...] DTSTAMP:20260904T155933Z LOCATION:China\,\, Shanghai SUMMARY:Watch & Talk: Obsession - The Psychology Of Obsessive Partners END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
