The Role of Love: From Childhood Abuse to Loving Everyone with Paul Zolman

How does someone go from a childhood defined by abuse to becoming a person who can find good in anyone, in any circumstance?Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of The Role of Love and creator of a practical, teachable system for giving and receiving all five love languages. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his default way of understanding love, something he later recognized as a twisted, distorted belief. From that painful beginning, he built a paradigm shift that transformed his life from anger to genuine love.In this episode, Paul shares his story of growing up in what he calls a childhood "boot camp" of abuse, how he came to realize the love he learned as a child wasn't real love at all, and the system he created to help people, even young children, learn to give love languages away so they can start recognizing them coming back. He also breaks down how this approach could reduce violence in schools and improve cohesion in the workplace.What We Talked About:- Growing up in a childhood shaped by abuse- Recognizing that physical touch wasn't actually love- The paradigm shift that transformed anger into genuine love- A simple, teachable system for giving all five love languages- Applying this approach in schools and workplaces- Why the system works for singles and couples alikeConnect with Paul Zolman:Website: roleoflove.comFacebook, Twitter/X, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn & TikTok: linked on his profile
