The Cultural Significance of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day serves as a focal point for discussions around love, relationships, and societal norms. Some argue that the day emphasizes significant issues related to romantic love, including longings, disappointments, and desires. Psychotherapist Susie Auerbach notes that individuals often come to counseling not specifically stating problems with love but rather expressing their emotional struggles and aspirations. This framing suggests that Valentine's Day can be a useful opportunity to explore the complexities of love and connection in our daily lives.
