Love and Therapy-- A Conversation with D...

Craig Heacock MD
About this episode

Is there a role for love in therapy, whether in the traditional psychotherapeutic context and/or in the psychedelic space?  And if we were to more consciously invite love into therapy, how could we do this in a safe and boundaried way?

Dr. Adele LaFrance, a Colorado-based psychologist, the co-creator of Emotion Focused Family Therapy, and now the principal investigator of a fascinating study called "The Love Project" shares her stories and wisdom on all things love.
