If you feel like you’ve wasted your time dating, THIS IS FOR YOU! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Here are some reframes from a therapist 🫶🏻

- you’re not wasting your time - you’re gaining information about what works (& doesn’t work!) for you
- you’re living your reality, which is currently in the dating scene
- you’re getting priceless personal growth, even if you haven’t yet found your person

Dating can suck, but it sucks way more if we tell ourselves we’re wasting our time. Lmk if this resonated! ✨

When you stop flirting, that’s where your relationship goes to ☠️

When was the last time you made out and then STOPPED THERE?? 😱 start doing that and see what happens.

“Fully healed” means the last line of this vid 👀

Fully healed is a myth, y’all! We’re always changing and growing, and if you’re waiting for this magical moment you’re going to be waiting forever. You are allowed (and encouraged!) to date before you are “fully healed,” bc so much of healing happens IN relationship.

Give yourself permission to be in progress 💖

CW: s//xual assault and violence

More nightmare news. I wanted to offer these 3 suggestions to help support everyone who is - very fcking reasonably - deeply disturbed, triggered, and overwhelmed by this.

This is in every aspect of our society, and it impacts ALL of us. Comprehensive and quality s//xual and relational education is one way to combat this, and that’s a huge reason I exist in this space.

Take good care of yourselves tonight. 💔

Spicy time is a SKILL - and if it doesn’t work quite like you want at the beginning - or anytime! - that’s ok bc you can communicate and practice and make it wayyy more satisfying. ❤️‍🔥

Temptation Island is reminding us allll that NRE is a strong drug!

I’ve talked to so many couples about this! 🤯

The way you sit on the couch with your partner (or each on your own couch!) and watch TV can really impact your intimacy.

Does this resonate? Lmk in the comments!
