A therapist just broke down the most alarming red flag of Love Is Blind so far

When it comes to Love Is Blind, people have become somewhat of a collective jury, quick to spot red flags, emotional manipulation, and anything that screams ‘run!’ But this season, it’s not just random folks weighing in.

A therapist has now shared her professional opinion on what she believes is the biggest red flag to come out of Love Is Blind season nine so far, and let’s just say, it’s something that’s been brewing since the pods.

Her breakdown sheds light on some of the deeper emotional dynamics at play between one particular couple, and it seems like she’s saying something everyone’s thinking.

Therapist reacts to Love Is Blind’s ‘huge red flag’

As Love Is Blind season nine drops on Netflix, relationship counsellor Dr Pam Fullerton gives her take on Edmond and Kalybriah’s relationship.

The pods are already an intense stage of the Love Is Blind process. The cast members have to open up to total strangers without even seeing them.

During the Denver show’s first episodes, Edmond shares with Kalybriah that he grew up in foster care.

This is something therapist Dr Pam says is “heartbreaking to watch,” as Edmond describes the instability he felt during his childhood years.

From kissing the floor to Edmond’s reaction to Kalybriah not being ready to sleep together, Dr Pam explains how all of it essentially comes back to trauma.

She says: “For Edmond, his understanding of love and intimacy seems to have stopped developing at a much younger emotional age. He’s trying to give and receive love in ways that are meaningful to him, but they are rooted in a child-like understanding.”

Dr Pam gives even more insight

As Love Is Blind Denver moves along, Kalybriah challenges Edmond with a theoretical scenario once they meet in person.

She asks during a date what he’d do if they were both out and a man “grabbed her arm.”

Edmond said he wouldn’t “confront” the guy, but would “call security.”

Kalybriah then adds that the reaction would make her “angry” and that she wouldn’t feel protected.

Dr Pam says the whole conversation poses questions when it comes to Kalybriah’s understanding of what a “protector” is, and she considers how this chat may have triggered something in Edmond – if he doesn’t react correctly, maybe he won’t be loved?

Proposal was another ‘red flag’

Dr Pam describes Edmond’s proposal as “childlike” and replays his reaction to Kalybriah saying ‘yes’.

He shouts: “Thank you,” and she responds: “You’re gonna wear me out.”

That comment from Kalybriah is a “huge red flag,” according to Dr Pam. She says that it’s also a “blind spot,” adding: “What she doesn’t seem to realise it that Edmond’s strong and intense needs really will wear her out over time.”

“Right now, she may interpret his intensity as passion or deep love, but the reality is that constantly having to meet someone else’s overwhelming needs and intensity can become exhausting in a relationship,” she adds.
