17. Psychology of Lurve (#solvethesolveable): Relationship Series

Have you been in Love? Have you been in a long, monogamous relationship? Then this episode is for you. Whether you’re into marriage, or want to be a single pringle for your whole life, we think there's something to learn here, and also…. We try really hard to make hashtags happen in this episode so bear with us. #Mindtrails #freudvoid #solvethesolveable.

Today we cover:

• Freud's theory of love
• Maslow’s theory of love
• Theory of liking vs. loving: the 3 ingredients of love
• Colour Wheel of Love (YES IT IS SPELLED WITH A “U” BECAUSE IT WAS A CANADIAN WHO MADE THIS THEORY GET OFF MY CASE!) (woah Marta, chill)
• Sternberg’s Love Triangle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_theory_of_love
• Carte de Tendre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_of_Tendre

We also ask and learn:

• Do we really need self actualization to be able to fall in love?
• Is passionate love the same as compassionate?
• Sometimes the best thing in your relationship, is a cleaning lady
• What does Fight/Flight have to do with love?
• Can you increase your capacity to love?
