S2EP23:How to move past the move past the fear of dating over 40 when you have been hurt in the past - 10+ things you can do
Description
Are you over 40 and can you relate to feeling fear about dating again?
After 40, when you’re really not where you thought you were gonna be in your romantic relationships-- you’re not on the timeline that you had set for yourself - maybe you thought you were gonna be married, settled down, all of that but it's not happened.
And it’s not been through a lack of trying but every time you try it just doesn’t work out -- and you’ve faced a lot of rejection and pain in the process.
Or if you were on your timeline and you got what you wanted, you got married, you had kids. And then it all started to unravel. You got divorced or separated or maybe you've suffered a loss.
Whichever one of these scenarios is real for you I understand the fear of actually dipping your toe back in the dating water is, is real.
And the problem this creates for you is:
1. you don't date at all
2. Or you date but you struggle to be yourself so you date as a version of yourself that you think is more likely to be accepted and this energy is picked up on and can repel what you want away or you end up settling.
Neither of which moves you towards the relationship you desire with the “perfect” someone for you who loves you for you.
SO ultimately you have to find a way to move past it and in today’s episode I share 10+ things you can do to move past the fear ( I lost count because there were so many pieces of gold in there so could be more than 10!)
