We all want to date when it’s fun and flighty, but a lot of us struggle when it comes to getting vulnerable with our partners. Galit Atlas (psychoanalyst and author of “Emotional Inheritance”) returns to discuss our deep-rooted issues surrounding intimacy. She emphasizes the role of our generational trauma, and how fear is learned as we grow older. Dr. Atlas and Natasha share ways to break those patterns and really connect when dating! It’s a thoughtful new episode of Kinda Dating!
