About this episode

<p>When we look at the people we love, how clearly do we really see them? This week, we talk with psychologist <a href="https://psyc.umd.edu/facultyprofile/lemay/edward" rel="noopener noreferrer">Edward Lemay</a> about how our fears, desires, and insecurities can shape our perceptions of our partners — sometimes creating the very reality we expect. He explains how we can learn to see our partners in ways that create greater trust and connection. Then, <a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/sonja" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sonja Lyubomirsky</a> answers your questions about the gap between being loved and <i>feeling</i> loved, in our latest installment of "Your Questions Answered."</p> <p><i>If you enjoy listening to Hidden Brain, we think you'll enjoy watching it as well!
