“Love is the deep and unwavering commitment to the flourishing of a human.” This statement from noted English researcher and best-selling author, Marcus Buckingham is profound in its truth. In any healthy bond with love at its core, two individuals have each other’s best interests at heart – interests that come before their own needs, desires, or agenda. While society predominantly highlights romantic love, we can all attest to the fact that there are myriad forms of love: the love a parent has for their child, the love between siblings, the love we have for our dear friends, and – yes – even the love a care provider has for their client. This last example can be controversial to even mention, largely because it is the most mischaracterized and misunderstood. In actuality, this bond represents one of the purest forms of love. A care provider pours time, energy, effort and empathy into a client with no expectations other than a sincere hope for that client’s well-being. As we celebrate Valentine’s Day today, let’s challenge ourselves to expand our horizons around our own perceptions of love. Through extensive research, Care Predictor has discovered the scientific construct behind love and its various presentations. These eye-opening findings led to the creation of Care Predictor’s innovative tools and services, which help quantify and enhance the skills that are required for care providers to effectively align with clients - a bond that is one of the strongest indicators of clinical outcomes. At Care Predictor, we believe strongly in love and its unique capacity to heal. Let us commit to embracing and utilizing the science behind love to deepen our connections and facilitate transformative change within ourselves and the lives of those we seek to help.
