In this new TheHappyRise Conversation, Hugues Alard welcomes Saverio Tomasella, psychoanalyst, author, and recognized expert in human relationships, on the occasion of the release of his book Amour Fusion (Eyrolles).
Throughout this deep yet accessible dialogue, Saverio Tomasella invites us to rethink the way we love. He explains why we often confuse love, passion, dependency, and possession; how to recognize a relationship that helps us grow rather than one that traps us; and what “conscious love” truly means.

The conversation also tackles a topic rarely addressed with such clarity: the true definition of coaching. A precious reflection for leaders, managers, therapists, coaches, and anyone committed to a journey of self-knowledge.
