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

If you're into attachment theory & personality types, prepare to have your mind blown as we chat with Dr. Avigail Lev, PsyD about how our thought patterns and beliefs (aka our schemas) shape everything from how we show up for relationships to which partners we choose. We discuss how early childhood shapes how we show up in relationships today, the love traps we tend to fall into due to our beliefs, and how you can change your behavior to have the love life you've always wanted.Learn more about Dr. Avigail Lev and her services at CBT Online and Bay Area CBT.

Whether you've experienced depression yourself or loved someone in the thick of it, it can be difficult to navigate relationships – if you let it. We're chatting with Tony about how he's been managing his own depression and how it's played into his dating life. We discuss the stigma still associated with depression especially for men, how you can support yourself and others when mental health challenges arise, and why this doesn't have to hold you back from finding a loving partner.Disclaimer: We are not medical professionals and this episode reflects our own experiences.

How much does body image play into our romantic relationships or lack thereof? Spoiler alert: quite a bit. Join us as we talk with Erin about some of her past experiences and how she held onto the idea that her relationships (or almost relationships) didn't work out due to not being thin enough. We discuss how body image impacts us all regardless of our shape, size, or gender, how to re-write your own narrative of what makes you attractive, and why we need to be a bit kinder to each other through it all. Follow us @dateablepodcast.

In a COVID-19 word, relationships are moving at turbo-speed...but is this a good thing? Join us as we talk with Ketan about dating during the pandemic and his virtual romance that resulted in him flying across the country to meet IRL. We discuss the 'fail fast' mentality and if this is good for relationships, how the loneliness of the pandemic has changed our behaviors, and why turborelationships can be a fantastic thing even if they don't work out. Follow us @dateablepodcast.

Can you date someone with opposing political views? We set up Tom and Kiki to check-in through various points of their virtual blind date about how they're feeling from when politics are off the table to when they're open to debate. We discuss when politics should come into the discussion on a first date, how they play into our values for a long-term relationship, and how we can start to break through this divide a bit more...romantic or not.NOTE: for anyone triggered by this topic, our guests are not extremists in any way....just two people who see the world a bit differently. Without giving away too much, they were able to have an open discussion in a peaceful way. We learned a lot and hope you can too.Follow us @dateablepodcast.
