Season 3, Episode 9 -Overcoming your dating anxietyIn this episode of 'How to Love Successfully', host Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist and conscious dating coach, discusses how to tackle dating anxiety faced by many women. Dr. Mari talks about the typical signs of dating anxiety, its impact on life and relationships, and the importance of dealing with it. With the help of various therapeutic tools, she suggests self-love practices as a starting point, focusing on feeling good about oneself, understanding feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, practicing mindfulness, and cultivating self-compassion. Dr. Mari also emphasizes building a healthy self-esteem that is not tied to external factors. She also talks about how reprocessing key negative experiences that are directly linked to dating related situations can be reprocessed through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). It is a psychological tool Dr Mari is trained in and it is borrowed from trauma therapy and can significantly help in reducing dating anxiety. This way you can be more open to letting love and find the right relationship for you.   Time stamps:01:16 Understanding Dating Anxiety01:55 Recognizing Symptoms of Dating Anxiety03:43 Addressing Dating Anxiety05:14 Self-Love Practices for Overcoming Dating Anxiety08:47 Impact of Past Relationships on Dating Anxiety09:19 EMDR Processing for Overcoming Dating Anxiety Would you like to transform your love life?Dating ClinicIf you've ever questioned what's holding you back from love, consider a free 30-minute Dating Clinic consultation.

Season 3, Episode 2 - "Are men scared of strong women?"Welcome to "How to Love Successfully," a podcast designed for accomplished female leaders ready to enrich their love lives, mirroring their professional success. I'm your host, Dr. Mari Kovanen, a seasoned psychologist and conscious dating coach. With 15 years of experience, I've helped individuals and couples navigate their relationships. In this podcast episode, Dr Mari delves into the question, "Are men scared of strong women?" Dr Mari begins by addressing the concept of being a strong female leader and how this might affect dating experiences. The episode explores the idea of "strong women" as individuals who are career-focused, outspoken, and goal-oriented, often embodying a classic Type A personality. Dr Mari draws from her 15 years of clinical work and experience in therapy to shed light on the dynamics and energies that come into play in dating.The episode emphasizes the importance of emotional safety and highlights that both men and women seek comfort and cues for safety during dates. It discusses the interplay of energies in relationships, such as the balance between the doer/provider/leader energy and the being/receiver/intuitive energy. Dr Mari emphasizes that a mismatch in these energies can lead to competition rather than a harmonious connection. The episode concludes by underlining the significance of healthy self-esteem and self-compassion in dating, encouraging strong women to shift gears from their work mode to a more relaxed and open mindset when dating. Would you like to transform your love life?Dating ClinicIf you've ever questioned what's holding you back from love, consider a free 30-minute Dating Clinic consultation.
