Most of us have people in our lives who love us — partners,
friends, family — yet many of us still don’t feel as loved as we
want to. Why is there such a gap between being loved and feeling
loved? And what can we actually do about it?

Dr. Laurie sits down with social psychologists Dr. Sonja
Lyubomirsky and Dr. Harry Reis, co-authors of How to Feel Loved,
to unpack the science behind this disconnect. They explain why
feeling loved so often eludes us — even in close relationships —
and share research-backed insights that can help us change the
conversation, strengthen our connections, and feel more loved
both now and in the relationships we build in the future.
