This episode is brought to you by Klarify: Turn therapy sessions into case notes instantly, on any platform. Over 15,000 notes generated for 700+ therapists. HIPAA, PHIPA, & PIPEDA compliant.

In this episode, I spoke with Dayana, a registered psychotherapist who brings a dual perspective as both a couples therapist and dating coach. She reveals why seemingly trivial arguments about toothpaste caps or breathing habits often mask deeper relationship issues of resentment and disconnection. We explore how Disney movies and social media have created unrealistic relationship expectations, from "Prince Charming" fantasies to the rise of "sprinkle girls" seeking financial support without equal contribution. Dayana shares powerful insights on post-COVID communication breakdown, explaining why text messages destroy relationships and how isolation has damaged our ability to connect. She also discusses how AI tools like Klarify have transformed her practice by automating case notes, and we explore the exciting possibilities of using AI to better match people in relationships and therapy - potentially reducing divorce rates by identifying compatibility issues before they become problems.
