Dating Support

Intimate relationships are a prime source of meaning and happiness in people’s lives. Why not invest in this area up front to achieve the best possible outcome?  Silicon Valley Therapy provides this perspective in addition to a model for dating success.

The dating world has changed dramatically in our digital age. It’s never been easier to connect with new people. The traditional process for online dating is to scroll through pictures until you find a person you are attracted to and make contact via a click, swipe, or message. While this is efficient it does create some significant problems. The dopamine driven mind takes over our behavior as the vast sea of beautiful faces pass by. Proper discernment and evaluation of a mate is overwhelmed by attraction and the potential for unsustainable hormone-driven thrills. It is information overload powered by attraction hormones.

But how many digital dates end up being a wise use of your time, money, and energy? How do you manage emotions that are driven by curated profiles depicting partial truths of attractive mates? The process can be downright dehumanizing.

The data is not very encouraging yet millions of people persist in their pursuit of the next perfect relationship.
