Dating is fun, they tell you. Go out and meet someone, they say! Whether you’re dating for kicks or looking for love, putting yourself out there takes guts. Fear, discomfort and anxiety are all part of the dating job-description. So how can we embrace these scary feelings to find the connections we crave? In this episode, Evelyn talks to psychotherapist and author Sonali Gupta about healthy anxiety, sorting reliable mental health advice from the not-so-reliable, and how to know when to get help.
