@the.psychguide: We are in an interesting time where there are many pop-psychology references in our everyday language. While part of me thinks this is great, and that it provides a shared language that we can use to convey ideas and concepts, the other part of me is aware of how these can be used incorrectly, used too rigidly, and weaponized as “therapy speak”. I think with many of these concepts, including love languages, it’s how we use them that’s important. If people in a relationship find them helpful to structure expressing their wants and needs, great. If people find them problematic, there are many other very good ways of expressing our wants and needs with different language. #lovelanguage #therapytiktok #couplestherapy #relationships #communicationskills

I love this take. Love isn’t about always perfectly aligning on everything, it’s about being willing to learn each other and understand the things that matter to your partner - and I think love languages can open a door to that, but they’re not the ultimate foundation of successful relationships

I agree! Love languages can be helpful to talk about but it doesn’t mean much in terms of the health a relationship
