Dateable: Your insider's look into modern dating and relationships

Whether you're into porn or you have a partner that is, we're chatting with Matt Sinkovitz about how his porn habits became compulsive and eventually led him to become a porn abstinence coach. We discuss how porn shapes our perception of sex, how porn addiction (and any addiction for that matter) can interfere with our relationships, and how people can reignite the passion in their actual relationships + marriages.Trigger Warning: There is a brief mention of thoughts of suicide when Matt shares his story.Learn more about Matt's work at https://www.facebook.com/groups/MakingPeaceWithPornFollow us @dateablepodcast.

Maybe you've had the thought 'once I get in a relationship, then I'll be happy' or 'once I get married, THEN I'll be happy'. We're chatting with positive psychology expert and celebrity happiness coach Rob Mack about why we often look to relationships as our source of happiness, when this is something we can find from within. We discuss how we're wired for happiness, how to come out of situations that don't make us happy, and why it's more important to find someone who supports our happiness over becomes our happiness.Trigger Warning: There is a brief mention of thoughts of suicide when Rob shares his story.Follow Rob @robmackofficial and learn more about Rob at https://www.coachrobmack.com/Follow us @dateablepodcast.
