In this podcast episode, Cape Town clinical psychologist Maria Cloete delves into the complexities of love. 

She explains that love is deeply intertwined with feelings of pleasure, attachment, affection, care, and devotion. 

Cloete also emphasises the importance of distinguishing between different types of love. As February is often associated with romantic love, she highlights its defining characteristics – an intense attraction involving the idealisation of another within the erotic context and the expectation of “forever.”
