Episode 174: The concept of love-food

"Love-food" is a term I coined to represent the experience of
being held emotionally by another. It's important to the
emotional well-being of all people, and essential to the
development of children. Every family is like a little ecosystem,
and within each family is a limited supply of love-food. Through
unconscious reinforcement contingencies, parents influence
children to occupy different niches within the family ecosystem
that maximize their respective access to love-food. I explain
more in this episode.
