Dating profile and communication red flags

Ever felt judged on a first date? Or a first conversation? Or was a little too open minded in swiping right on a matching profile? Let’s talk about those thoughts and what they reveal about toxic patterns. In this episode Dr. Angelica, clinical psychologist, and Amanda, relationship coach, discuss how matching and dating can be full of red flags, and how to avoid being bait for the more dangerous externalizing attachment styles like the trainer, dictator, rescuer, and puppetmaster. They explore why you might override the ick from questions like "Tell me something interesting about yourself," connecting professor Jennie Young's Burned Haystack Method with Dr. Angelica Shiels Attunement Method on Attachment Styles. Recognizing potentially toxic communication patterns early can save you a lot of heartache, and keep you safe. We dive into the red flags that often go unnoticed in profiles and messaging conversations, especially in dating apps. Those little cues can tell you a lot about someone’s emotional maturity and attachment style.   So, pay attention if you don't want to be bait! Knowing what to look for can help you safely navigate your dating life.   Watch & subscribe to this episode on YouTube  Download the Attuned - Relationships App on Apple or Android   Schedule coaching with Amanda   SUPPORT THE PODCAST  Rate & share on Apple  Send us your questions or comments by emailing  [email protected] Dr. Angelica & Coach Amanda on Instagram and TikTok
