Or a first conversation? Or was a little too open minded in swiping right on a matching profile? Let’s talk about those thoughts and what they reveal about toxic patterns. In this episode Dr. Angelica, clinical psychologist, and Amanda, relationship coach, discuss how matching and dating can be full of red flags, and how to avoid being bait for the more dangerous externalizing attachment styles like the trainer, dictator, rescuer, and puppetmaster. They explore why you might override the ick from questions like "Tell me something interesting about yourself," connecting professor Jennie Young's Burned Haystack Method with Dr. Angelica Shiels Attunement Method on Attachment Styles. Recognizing potentially toxic communication patterns early can save you a lot of heartache, and keep you safe. We dive into the red flags that often go unnoticed in profiles and messaging conversations, especially in dating apps. Those little cues can tell you a lot about someone’s emotional maturity and attachment style.&nbsp; &nbsp;So, pay attention if you don't want to be bait!

People who can flex between feeling powerless AND in-control, satisfied&nbsp; AND dissatisfied, certainty AND uncertainty (instead of just avoiding one and protecting the other) are less likely to go into a stress response (fight flight freeze and fawn) and less likely to encounter shame/blame. Therefore, they experience normal protective emotions such as fear and anger, but don’t become STUCK in them.#attuned #emotions #fear #angerFollow along for a free 6-month beginner course on safe and connected relationships.Watch &amp; subscribe to this episode on YouTubeDownload the Attuned - Relationships App on Apple or Android&nbsp; &nbsp;Schedule coaching with AmandaSUPPORT THE PODCASTRate &amp; share on AppleSend us your questions or comments by emailing&nbsp; Admin@attunementmethod.comFollow Dr. Angelica &amp; Coach Amanda on Instagram and TikTok What are primal FEELINGS, and why are they more helpful to label than EMOTIONS?
