In this Q&A episode of “Cheaper than Therapy,” a listener finds themself ready to begin dating after a long post-divorce hiatus, but finds themself overwhelmed with worry about choosing “wrong.” We discuss getting vulnerable to find the real information you need when dating, and get real about expectations in relationships.

🌟 Big Takeaways from this Episode:

• Silence the Noise: Sometimes we have too much information and rely on our rational mind to protect ourselves from heartbreak, forgetting that true connection requires authentic vulnerability
• Knowledge is Power: Remember that how you feel physically and emotionally when you’re with a person or activated by a person may sometimes provide more reliable information about compatibility in dating. How are you putting your “book” smarts into practice within these relationships?
• People Process Information Differently: Speaking hetero-normatively, men and women face separate societal expectations, and usually process vulnerable conversations and experiences differently. Approaching dating with an open mind and grace for one another will help you remember you can’t get it “wrong,” and help you on your journey to authenticity.
