People searching for love today are facing a complex minefield of issues that make dating more complicated than ever. Dating apps, reality TV that turns love into a kind of game show like “Love is Blind” and “90 Day Fiance,” and endless advice columns on “how to attract a partner,” and “red flags” to run from have all turned dating into a new kind of social experiment. As a result, clients are coming to us more confused and anxious than ever about their dating experiences.
In this session, we will explore how to help singles and early-stage couples in today’s difficult dating world can enhance emotional intimacy and attachment at the beginning stages of the coupling process. Participants will be equipped with innovative ways to journey with their singles and early-stage couples to see and address the ways in which social cultural differences are keys to unlock the pathways to see and know their potential partner or current partner and themselves. To truly have intimacy, we can’t be blind in love. We have to see and fully embrace the whole person; this presentation will facilitate such discussion and clinical skills to achieve this goal.
