I couldn't put a name on what Holly describes as I have seen it in others and what it does to the other person. In family violence situations it is when love bombing does not work - where the recipient of the abuse is strong willed - and ends up in ED.
My thinking along these lines is how to prevent and correct or re-educate this pattern of behaviour.

😅 I moved in with my boyfriend too quickly. Should've transferred to another location and rented a room. Things are really layered in how it's working out, meaning it isn't really. I went from having an emotionally abusive boyfriend who love bombed me for years to a serious seeming one where it feels like he's just not interested. Like I'm sure he is, but I'm not getting loved the way I need. IDK why I'm even typing this all here. Guess it needed to come out. I've been trying to figure out what to do, and I'm at rock bottom again. No money and depressed as shit.
