Overcoming Dating Anxiety: A Conversation between a Dating + Relationship Therapist and a Matchmaker

Dating Anxiety Is Real—But It Doesn’t Have to Run the Show

Dating Rehab with Anna Morgenstern

Dating can bring up anxiety, self-doubt, and a lot of pressure—especially in today's swipe-heavy world. In this episode, therapist Rebecca Marcus joins me to discuss why dating anxiety happens, how dating apps can make it worse, and practical tools to stay grounded throughout the process. We cover mindset shifts, managing rejection, reducing pressure on first dates, and how to stop focusing on whether someone likes you and start focusing on whether you like them.
