Do You Know These Dating Pitfalls? - with Lyn Smith&Marlisse Testa - a podcast by Lyn Smith
from 2022-05-04T23:00
Lyn is joined by psychotherapist, Marlisse Testa, to talk about dating - the areas we should be working on whilst single, and the pitfalls to look out for as we navigate the dating scene in search of a healthy love life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Previous generations tended to stick together regardless, and had 'I've made my bed I've got to lie in it' attitude and expected their relationships to last a lifetime regardless of whether it was unhealthy / unfulfilling.
Today's generation has gone more towards the opposite extreme and see marriage and relationships as more transient and disposable, having a more 'the grass is always greener' attitude, regardless of whether the relationship is potentially healthy / fulfilling. - Being untentionally single has a bad name, but it is a time when we can seize the opportunity to heal past hurts, grow and evolve, and become the best version of the person we're meant to be.
- If we don't work on ourselves when we're single, serious underlying problems can become the unhealthy baggage that we take with us into our next relationship(s).
- We can't like everybody and not everybody has to like us. If a person we like romantically doesn't like us in the same way, we have to accept that this person is not meant to be for us and move on.
BEST MOMENTS
'Our previous role models were that people were together forever'
'We've forgotten about that magic moment in-between relationships'
'It's good if we embrace the 'single' time to discover who we really are'
