I feel like I have a concrete definition of what love is, the ingredients that make it up, and how to move toward a full vision of love in my life. Through her work I have felt validated, understood and hopeful about how I can better and more consistently love those around me, especially those closest to me. ![]() Her work supports people in breaking generational patterns and developing new understandings and paths toward full and complete love. Hooks recognizes that our understanding of love is directly informed by how we were loved and wanted to provide something more clear and objective. Many of us experienced harm, abuse, or neglect in the name of love, or were really cared for but felt an absence of love. The reality is most of us have learned what love is by how we were or weren’t loved by our parents or primary caregivers, our community, and our friends.
