Future faking hoovering isn't a change of heart. It's a second round of grooming, aimed at exactly what the first round wanted.
In this highlight from Kerry's weekly live Q&A, she takes on what's actually happening when someone shows up with flowers, apologies and a raked pile of leaves after months of silence — and why the answer has almost nothing to do with you.
In this episode:
• Why not being hoovered is a read on what you had left to give
• Hoovering is a role vacancy, not a longing
• Love bombing and hoovering: one objective, two stages, two sets of tools
• Why “pathetic chasing behavior” isn't your flaw — it's how humans are built
• The two questions that decode any hoover: what do they need, and why now?
