Psychiatrist and human sexuality expert Dr. Agnes Bueno to hold Love Workshops
This is serious, not an April Fool’s Day prank.
Love is the paramount concern of most people, especially Filipinos. Everywhere we go we are reminded of it: in love songs blaring at the malls, in movies about “soulmates”, in ads that promise you will find true love…after you try their products.
But what exactly do we mean by “love”? Infatuation, companionship, sexual attraction, sacrifice, obsession…we might not be talking about the same thing. The result is confusion, disappointment, bitterness, rage, or worse.
Before we can love or be loved, we have to know what it is. Our personal concepts of love are shaped by our earliest interactions with parents, families, friends–relationships that, if we’re not self-aware, can end up defining who we are, or defeating what we want to become.
For something that’s supposed to be in the air, love is hard to pin down.
Professor of Psychiatry and Human Sexuality Agnes Bueno, M.D. invites you to delve into the meaning of love in your life, to understand your desires and expectations, and free yourself from the burdens of the past.
The Love Workshop is a combination of classroom discussion and group therapy. It consists of two intensive three-hour sessions. Each class consists of only five students, with writer Jessica Zafra as facilitator and Dr. Bueno as therapist.
The Love Workshop will be held at #13 Osmena St. Xavierville 3, Loyola Heights Quezon City. The course fee is Php5,000 per person. Schedules will be arranged according to the participants’ availability. To enroll, call (02) 723 0101 local 6501 or 2217 or visit Dr. Bueno’s office at:
Suite 1217 South Tower
St. Luke’s Medical Center
Cathedral Heights Bldg. Complex
279 E. Rodriguez Sr., Blvd., Quezon City
You can’t be loved till you know how to love.

I never managed to thank you for having Dr. Bueno for the podcast. That was amazing. Thank you so much.
Dr. Bueno is pretty intimidating in the classroom but I guess that’s her being the professor who has a certain level of expectation in her students who will have the same big responsibility that she carries when they become her colleagues. I’m sure it’s a totally different ball game when she’s carrying out that responsibility with the patients or workshop participants.
