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.
