Category: Love, Relationships, and Psychology
In this episode, Armand DiMele and Roberta Maria Ati explore the complexities of love, attachment, and the psychological need for containment in relationships. They discuss how childhood experiences shape our adult relationships and the importance of balance between closeness and independence. The conversation delves into the biochemical aspects of love, particularly the role of phenylethylamine (PEA) in fostering emotional connections. The hosts emphasize that separation can rejuvenate relationships, allowing partners to grow individually before reuniting. This Valentine’s Day, they encourage listeners to reflect on their own needs for containment and growth within their romantic connections.
