Dating Someone New? Expect This To Happen
I did not expect this to happen when I started dating someone new….
And I’m not going to lie, some of the things that’ve been coming up since I started dating the new guy in January have come as a bit of a shock.
In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, we’re exploring the unexpected memories that’ve been bubbling to the surface since I’ve been dating someone new, the complexities of healing from past heartbreak, and I’m highlighting the importance of self-compassion and acceptance as you navigate feelings of guilt and sadness while embracing the joys of present experiences.
Here’s a glimpse at what we cover:
1. Surprising Challenges in New Relationships: I’m reflecting on unexpected triggers and memories that’ve been resurfacing as the connection with the new guy begins to grow.
2. Healing from Past Heartbreak: I’m acknowledging the lingering effects of past relationships and the process of releasing emotional baggage.
3. Navigating Feelings of Guilt and Sadness: We’re discussing strategies for coping with guilt and sadness associated with reminiscing about past relationships.
4. Managing Doubts and Insecurities: We’re exploring techniques for distinguishing past patterns from present experiences and choosing to trust in new relationships.
5. Embracing Present Joys: I’m highlighting the significance of savouring moments of joy and connection in new relationships while honouring past experiences.
6. Practising Self-Compassion: I’m encouraging you to be gentle with yourself and embrace self-compassion while navigating the complexities of dating and relationships.
7. Choosing to Focus on the Present: I’m offering guidance on redirecting your attention from past memories to present experiences and creating a positive outlook on new relationships.
This episode provides valuable insights into navigating the emotional landscape of new relationships, emphasising the importance of self-awareness, self-compassion, and embracing the journey of healing and growth.
