When we are working on healing our codependency, when we are learning to navigate our childhood wounds and to find our adult autonomy, when we are doing our self love work and attempting to create a safe space for ourselves in our own company - we are often going to find ourselves deeply contemplating the 'nature' of love.
We are going to find ourselves in a space where we start to question what love really is, and how much of what we as a society tend to consider to be 'love' right now is ACTUALLY just codependency and need.
As we start to unpack all the ways in which love was SO deeply connected to SURVIVAL for us as children, we may start to wonder if SURVIVAL is really at the ROOT of why we think we 'love' anyone in our adulthoods.
We may start to get to the place where we are questioning if love is actually 'real' or if it's really just a result of our desire to stay alive and the fact that we really NEED one another in order to do so.
We may start to wonder where the line is between actually appreciating someone, and really just needing them is.
We may start to listen to relationship gurus who tell us the REAL love exists in the ABSCENCE of need - when we see the other person as totally separate from us and have a sense that even if they were to go away we would still be ok - and then wonder if we ever have truly loved anyone if we don't feel like we could be 'totally ok' if someone went away.
Perhaps we feel like the people that we DO feel that level of detachment from are people we aren't actually that close with - so are we actually loving someone? OR are we just codependent? Are we supposed to deeply love and care for someone and at the same time feel NO sense of dependence on them or like we might have a hard time if they were to leave?
WHAT IS LOVE?
That's what we're going to explore today.
