Secure Dating vs. Survival Dating

from LET’S TALK ATTACHMENTS Hosted by Jessica Da Silva, LMFT

Modern dating is exhausting because most people are dating from nervous-system survival mode instead of from their Secure Self. In this episode, I break down the difference between survival dating and secure dating, why swipe culture keeps anxious and avoidant patterns alive, and what it actually looks like to date from clarity, safety, and self-trust. You’ll learn how to recognize when your attachment system is running the show, why chemistry alone can keep you stuck in burnout cycles, and practical ways to shift into values-led, regulated, secure dating — even in today’s dating landscape.
