What You’ll Learn In The Dating Toolkit
With this toolkit, you will learn to adapt your dating strategies to your attachment style and personal traits. Through gaining a deeper understanding of yourself throughout the toolkit, you will extend these newfound perspectives to how you approach your dating experiences – inevitably improving them in the process.
The Dating Toolkit
1. The background
Over 73% of our audience grapple with three main forms of attachment: anxious/preoccupied, avoidant/dismissing and disorganized/fearful-avoidant.
Having an insecure attachment style often means that we weren’t provided with the necessary skills to forge secure relationships – including those for making dating a fluid and enjoyable experience. But, whereas having an insecure attachment isn’t our fault, what is within our power is the ability to change how we see ourselves and approach the field of dating.
Many insecure attachers learn how to find secure, healthy relationships. And you can too, starting with this toolkit.
2. The approach
With its chronological structure, you can learn strategies that will help you before, during and after dating. In this way, you can feel that you are actively working on yourself and towards better relationships at every step of the way. With this toolkit, we encourage you to embrace growth, learn, and develop a more peaceful and stable relationship with yourself for a win-win scenario in the dating world!
3. Applying the strategies
Throughout this course, you will learn specific strategies that you can use to actively improve your dating experiences. The toolkit not only provides you with the theory behind these strategies, but also guides you through them, if you choose to, throughout your own process in real time.
By applying these strategies and insights throughout your dating experience, you can actively feel the transformation towards healthier and secure connections
