Dating in the Los Angeles area can be a very challenging and daunting task as we live in a very fast pace environment. Therefore it important that we don’t get all caught up in the hype by falling into this bad habit of moving fast when it comes to forming relationships. One way to break this habit would be to take a moment to answer the following questions: Are you tired of the dating scene and bar hopping? Are you noticing that you are spending endless hours searching and zipping through online dating profiles to no avail? Are you considering its time to settle down and are in search of a meaningful relationship but have no idea where to begin? If you answered yes to any of these questions maybe you should give psychotherapy a try.
In order to form that special bond with someone it begins with you taking a moment to self reflect. Self-reflection is a key component to finding that satisfying connection that you are seeking. What is self-reflection you ask? Self-reflection is defined as the analysis of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. In order words, by exploring your thoughts and behaviors you can truly understand the needs and wants that you are looking for in a relationship. This introspection can be achieved in psychotherapy.
