The Dating Counselor

What happens when a blind date turns into an entire week together?In this episode of The Dating Counselor Podcast, I share a deeply personal dating story that still shapes how I approach modern dating today via a week-long blind date that taught me powerful lessons about chemistry, attachment, pacing, and discernment.Joining me for this conversation is my husband, Mark Harmon, as we reflect on this experience through both a personal and professional lens. Together, we unpack what was happening emotionally at the time, what I didn’t yet understand about dating dynamics, and what I now teach singles as a licensed therapist and dating coach.This episode blends real-life dating experience with evidence-based insight, making it especially helpful if you’ve ever felt:Afraid of being “too much” or asking for clarityStuck wondering why dating keeps feeling emotionally exhaustingPractical dating advice you can apply immediatelyDating intentionally and wanting a healthy relationshipStruggling with dating anxiety or overthinkingNavigating dating within religious or cultural expectationsYou’ll also walk away with reflection questions to help you evaluate your own dating patterns and make decisions from clarity rather than pressure.Whether you’re single, dating, or healing from past experiences, this episode is a reminder that dating mistakes aren’t failures, they’re data. Growth comes from reflection, not perfection.🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode with someone navigating modern dating.
