Can Love Ever Really Be Unconditional?


Listen Later

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are myth-busting the idea of unconditional love. They explain the difference between conditional and unconditional love and which kinds of relationships fall into either category. Then, they answer the #1 listener question: can love be unconditional in romantic relationships? Plus, they dive deeper into the way we put unconditional love on a pedestal as a society. Em and Jen discuss the grief process in accepting the reality that our parent's love is conditional, deep love vs. unconditional love, what normal martial hatred means, and normalizing the postpartum experience. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 8:15 into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
