What does it truly mean to love, and how do we express this complex emotion in our lives? Join me in this thought-provoking episode as we explore the various ways we experience love -- from the simple enjoyment of pizza to the deep emotional connections we have with our romantic partners and family members.
Dr. Shemena challenges you to think deeply about your own experiences with love and how your upbringing has influenced the way you express it. Are you still longing for something you never received from your parents? Do you find yourself merging too quickly in relationships or maintaining a safe distance? How do you show love towards your children and their individuality? Tune in and discover how to better understand and express love in your own life.
