About this episode

Today, I’m going to talk about three aspects of love that affect our brain and the way we think. If we can understand how our brain processes these emotions, then we can become better at handling our emotions as well as our relationships. I start by explaining what these three aspects are, the chemical reaction that happens in our body when we feel them, and the ways we can improve how we handle these feelings. Come join me and discover what aspect you can gradually improve. 

Key Takeaways:

  • 00:00:00 Intro
  • 00:03:39 Love and relationships affect the brain
  • 00:05:34 Three ways feelings of love show up in the brain
  • 00:05:58 Attraction
  • 00:06:12 Lust
  • 00:17:44 Attachment
