Nobody Wants This: Dating Therapy (Get off the apps!)
In my latest YouTube video titled Nobody Wants This: Dating Therapy, Get Off the Apps!, I take a deep dive into the dynamics of dating through the lens of Noah and Joanne from the show Nobody Wants This. As I provide hypothetical therapy, I address common yet challenging issues many people face in modern dating, such as the fears and excitement that arise when you find new love, family challenges when relatives disapprove of your relationship, and the struggle of losing oneself in a relationship. We explore how new relationships often bring a blend of vulnerability and joy, yet can trigger deep fears of rejection and failure. I also delve into how family disapproval creates pressure that can strain relationships, and the importance of maintaining individuality while navigating a new connection. Throughout the video, I provide practical dating advice, including how to get off the dating apps and make authentic connections. If you're someone who’s stuck in the endless cycle of swiping on Tinder or another dating app and you're feeling frustrated with modern dating, this video is for you! Whether you're looking for dating tips, advice on how to deal with family challenges, or strategies to keep your sense of self in a relationship, I offer insights drawn from the characters' experiences in the show and from my expertise as a therapist.
