Listen "28 - What is Love?"
Episode Synopsis
What is love? No, I'm not talking about the song by Haddaway or TWICE. In recognition of Valentine's Day this next week and the many conversations I have with clients about this topic, let's talk about love and what it is.
Here's a brief rundown. There are seven different kinds of love according to the Greek language, but we're looking at three of them because that was all I found when I was looking up this information while recording:
Eros - Romantic love
Philia - Love among friends
Agape - Unconditional love
There are also 8 types of love according to Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love that are based on the three vertices of passion, intimacy, and commitment:
Non-love - None of the three are represented
Infatuation - Only passion is present
Liking - Only Intimacy is present
Empty Love - Only commitment is present
Romantic Love - Passion and intimacy
Fatuous Love - Passion and commitment
Companionate Love - Intimacy and commitment
Consummate Love - Passion, intimacy, and commitment
