Love is often misconstrued as a possessive or controlling emotion, leading to detrimental behaviors in relationships. Dr. Lisa Firestone highlights the importance of understanding what love is not: it is not about submission or dominance, emotional coercion, or manipulation. By recognizing and avoiding these negative patterns, individuals can foster healthier and genuine connections with their partners. Love should not be equated with emotional hunger or the need for validation, emphasizing the significance of developing inner strength and self-assurance for a fulfilling relationship.
