There are so many Ooey-Goey feelings that arise when you start experiencing the overwhelming emotions of love.
But what do those butterflies fly around in your stomach and the hearts float in your eyes?
Dailymail.com had the opportunity to speak with Jordan Conrad, founder and clinical director at Madison Park Psychotherapy, and Dr. Charles Sweet MD, psychiatrist and medical adviser at Linear Health to learn what happens in the brain when we fall in love.
Jordan explained that a few years ago researchers were able to gain more insight into love on a neural basis.
“If you are in those early stages of love, a very primitive part of the brain – the reward circuit – becomes active,” he is detailed on femail.
'Dopamine – the chemical that makes things pleasant – floods the brain and causes that euphoric feeling. Cortisol – which generates a stress -like feeling – gives love that urgent feeling.
'When cortisol rises, serotonin – a neurotransmitter that carries messages in your nervous system – becomes exhausted, which can continue to cause those obsessive thoughts about the loved one.
“Another chemical is the hormone oxytocin, which is released during the contact of sex and skin and skin and the adhesion improves and makes people feel satisfied or calm.”

Dr. Charles shared other hormones that are released when you first meet someone you feel attracted to.
“Norepinephrine, or Noradrenaline, is not that popular, but it plays a major role in falling in love,” he told DailyMail.com.
'The release increases your heartbeat, lets palms sweat and creates that butterfly in your gut feeling.
“It is also bound by an increased sense of focus, which can explain why everything is easy to obsess to that person – because of their laughs, their ways or even their scent.”
Now that it is clear how the brain works during a Lovestruck -Waas, both experts have about how to use that to our advantage.
Dr. Charles said: 'Intentional behavior can strengthen these chemical reactions. Shared activities – Trying a new sport, traveling or even taking a cooking class – Boost naturally dopamine levels.
'By creating memories together, you strengthen that band. Physical touch [hand-holding, cuddling, or even eye contact] Also stimulates oxytocin, which makes you feel more connected. '
He added: 'Emotional vulnerability [sharing your fears, dreams, and quirks] Activates the binding systems of the brain. This builds up emotional intimacy, which is a key factor with long -term relationship satisfaction.
Both experts have detailed which hormones are released and how this influences the way you are with your partner
'Without knowing brain chemistry, it can fall in love with magical. But it is really a series of predictable psychological and physiological processes.
“If you tap them with intention, the connection can deepen and help love grow in healthy, sustainable ways.”
Jordan has detailed that when we are in love, our love neurochemia has our negative reviews of the other person suppressed.
“If people are in love, they consider the other person to be more attractive, funnier, smarter and more interesting than they would do if they were not in love.” He explained.
'On the one hand you could say that this might be beneficial – you could try to combat those irrational evaluations to get a more accurate understanding of the other.
“But that would be a big mistake. It is a good thing to have a bloated feeling of the other, to see them strongly, to be in love with them.
'If it is healthy and reason, that wild and expiration is positive – I would not encourage people to lose it, I would encourage them to find out how they can keep it longer.
'Studies show that some people who maintain' honeymoon 'phase for years, and only lose its fearful part, but keep track of it excited and intense in love. '
Janet Bayramyan, LCSW, a psychotherapist on his way to Wellness therapy, has also contributed that if you understand how love works in the brain, you can make better decisions instead of driving the 'dopamine high'.
“You can make more effort to bring logic in versus to focus exclusively on the romantic feelings,” she revealed.
'If a person is deeper in love, you can know that this can help set realistic expectations and promote better communication.
“Sometimes people can take things personally if the other person doesn't get as hard” as the other. Knowing these nuances can help the individual not take things so personally. '
