Objectives

Analyze the relationship between recent dating trends and clinical symptoms, like anxiety and depression, and how they inform treatment interventions.
Determine how to help clients set boundaries and advocate for their relational needs with romantic partners.
Evaluate with clients the importance of relational self-awareness in creating a successful romantic relationship.

Outline

Explain the relationship between recent dating trends and clinical symptoms, like anxiety and depression, and how they inform treatment interventions.

Present research findings about increased rates of depression and anxiety in emerging adults and how dating can be affected by mental health challenges.
Provide clinicians with tools they can use to disrupt patterns of avoidance, disconnection, and self-abandonment.

Identify how to help clients set boundaries and advocate for their relational needs with romantic partners.

Describe the low accountability / low vulnerability dating climate and explore how it reinforces that which is already challenging—asking for what you need.
Provide clinicians with tools that help clients build relational self-awareness so that boundary-setting becomes an expression of relational empowerment (versus control or self-protection).

Explore with clients the importance of relational self-awareness in creating a successful romantic relationship.

Define relational self-awareness and we will focus on how to help clients understand how their past can create constraints to openness/curiosity/vulnerability/trust which are essential for those who are dating.
Teach vulnerability cycle mapping (Sheinkman & Fishbane) as a tool to help clients move from the language of “red flags” to a relational approach to assessing goodness of fit.
