Why do two people who genuinely love each other still end up hurting each other? In this episode, Susan Q explores the Norwegian film Loveable as a powerful case study in relationships, attachment, and emotional growth. Through the story of Maria and Sigmund, she introduces the concept of Emotional Logic—the unconscious “why” behind our reactions, expectations, and conflicts. Along the way, she connects the film to Dr. John Gottman’s Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, showing not only what destroys relationships, but why those patterns emerge in the first place.
