I'm joined on the podcast today by love and relationship coach Heather Garbutt to talk about the 5 Love Languages (and the additional 6th that Heather also talks about).

Love Languages is the work of marriage counselor Dr Gary Chapman published in his 1992 book and Heather integrates it into the work she does with individuals and couples as part of her psycotherapy practice.

It's not just romantic love from a partner, but also from parent to child or even appreciation between colleagues at work.

This is a really interesting topic because it gets right into what's at the heart of all relationships which is communication.

We talk about expectations, assumptions, and of course the inner narrative that accompanies all of the beliefs we hold about what people should be doing or how we should be acting.

If this is the first time you've come across the Love Languages I'm sure there will be many lightbulb moments as you listen to our conversation, and if you're already familiar I'd encourage you to listen to the discussion against the backdrop of some of your own relationships.
