Love relationships
What is your idea of love? We live in a love obssessed world. It's the theme of songs, movies, books, poetry, social media, apps and more.
What messages of love and relationships are they giving to us? How are they informing our expectations and needs in a love relationship?
Attachment science has helped us over recent decades to see more clearly what we have felt intuitively - that romantic love is about emotional bonding. Love and relationships are about an in-wired need for a safe emotional connection, someone to depend on where love and comfort can be reliably obtained. A secure emotional bond creates a safe (although imperfect) space to be vulnerable.
