How to make dating comfortable and safe

How to make dating comfortable and safe

“People now react differently to me”

The words of Cathy Vartuli, who didn’t date for 13 years because she’s a 320 pound woman who was afraid to get rejected for her weight. She did a session with an expert and two weeks later she was dating and has been on hundreds of dates since.

In this interview, Cathy (who is a sex-positive Emotional Freedom Coach who helps people transform their traumas into their greatest strengths using love, laughter and inner guidance) shares her story. She for example says:

“I had all the fears about how I looked. As I worked through it, I realised all of us have insecurities. And that was a big A-HA moment. I thought I was the only person in the world that felt awkward and out of place and everybody else was fine. Because I can’t see in other people’s heads, I had this belief that they had it all together and it was just me that’s messed up. When I started letting go of that enough to get closer to people I realised everybody feels awkward.”

And she also shares:

1. How much self acceptance has to do with dating
2. What she did to make dating safe for herself and how you can make it safe and fun
3. How to take the pressure off dating

QUOTE: I showed the thing I most wanted to hide and when I did that people were inspired and my life has transformed since then.

Why EFT Could Be Your Breakthrough for Social Anxiety Relief

Why EFT Could Be Your Breakthrough for Social Anxiety Relief

In this episode... A comprehensive study involving 5,000 patients across 11 clinics over 5.5 years compared the effectiveness of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in treating anxiety. The findings revealed that 90% of patients receiving EFT showed improvement, compared to 63% in the CBT group. Notably, only three EFT sessions were needed to reduce anxiety, whereas an average of 15 sessions were required for CBT. Complete relief of symptoms was observed in 76% of the EFT group, compared to 51% in the CBT group. One year later, improvements were maintained by 78% of the EFT group, compared to 69% of the CBT group.
