Description Meeting potential dates has largely transitioned from traditional, in-person interactions to the digital realm, where the dynamics and social norms are vastly different. Unlike the organic, face-to-face encounters of the past, online dating presents unique challenges and opportunities that are often difficult to navigate. This segment of the training will equip therapists with a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances their clients encounter in the world of online dating. From the pressure of creating a compelling online persona to the psychological impact of digital rejection and ghosting, therapists will gain insight into the myriad issues that can arise. By understanding these challenges, therapists will be better prepared to support their clients in navigating the emotional and mental health aspects of the online dating experience, ultimately fostering healthier and more meaningful relationships.
