En las condiciones adecuadas, la limerencia puede llegar a una gran intensidad. Para que esto se dé, debe haber alguna forma de duda, incertidumbre o amenaza a la reciprocidad. Una declaración muy temprana de los sentimientos de la persona limerente o evidencias significativas de la reciprocidad del OL puede detener el desarrollo de la limerencia a su máximo nivel. En algunos casos, ésta disminuye hasta desaparecer o caer a niveles muy bajos (Tennov, 1979)Limerence is a predominantly cognitive and emotionally intense condition that remains underrecognized, underexplored, and undertreated. It is primarily characterized by uncertainty, hope, an obsessive desire for emotional reciprocity, and rumination. Due to the lack of specialized interventions, this study focused on its core component: limerent rumination, which was addressed through metacognitive therapy. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in reducing limerent rumination. A single-case, pre-experimental quantitative design was implemented, with four assessments conducted at different points: pretest, mid-treatment, posttest, and one-month follow-up. The intervention comprised eleven sessions employing metacognitive techniques adapted specifically to limerent rumination, aimed at modifying the participant’s relationship with their thoughts. Validated psychometric instruments for the Mexican population, alongside semi-structured interviews, were used for evaluation. Quantitative results indicated clinically significant improvements across all measured variables, particularly in limerent rumination. Thematic analysis of interviews revealed sustained symptom reduction alongside additional reported benefits. Overall, findings suggest that metacognitive intervention targeting limerent rumination is a reliable approach to addressing not only this component but potentially limerence as a whole. The intervention reduced both cognitive and affective symptoms of limerence, fostering functional and lasting changes. These outcomes pave the way for further research to strengthen the clinical management of limerence as a distinct phenomenonPDFesCC0 1.0 UniversalRumiación limerenterumiaciónterapia metacognitivalimerenciainfo:eu-repo/classification/cti/5Tesis maestríaCiencias Sociales
