Do you feel full of dread every time you go on a date, or when it has ended? Do you constantly focus on whether they are into you or whether they’re going to text back or ask you out again - rather than focusing on getting to know you? Do you hate it when they don’t reply, or are sat online and constantly wonder if they are about to ghost you or reject you? If you’re anxiously attached and in the dating world- it’s painful, and you’re not alone.

Louise talks with Dr Tari Mack, clinical psychologist and relationship expert on how to make the dating world a little more manageable.

⇢ How and when you can start talking about things they do that trigger you

⇢ When you should talk about your anxious attachment (and how)
