For one love is a big and broad term. She acknowledges all kinds of love and then proceeds to cheapen all of them that don't fit our societies socially acceptable norm. Love is love, there's no bad kind. Secondly a give away she's certainly wrong is how absolutes are peppered through, it is "never" a good thing, the "only" kind if love it could be would be infantile. Another thing is that many therapists write about how there must be love. The feelings she's cheapening are the foundations of therapy for most. She states her opinion with the conviction it's fact as if there aren't experts who would disagree, there are. And finally it's condescending and it's assumptive, when did I claim this was an ideal love? Anyways... My therapy isn't the one way only street she describes. It is about me, but I ask about my therapist, I care for him as a person outside of anything he does for me. Are you going to tell me I don't? Lol!
Thanks for this!
