Many of us have a fantasy of what a relationship is supposed to be. We have expectations for an ideal union. According to Dr. Carla Marie Manly, dating isn’t about being perfect or catching the perfect partner; it’s all about creating compassionate self-awareness and stronger self-esteem. Dr. Manly contends that self discovery is key to a healthy relationship and she helps us take the guesswork out of dating with real-life examples, the latest research, and mindset shifts designed to foster better communication, self-esteem, boundaries, and expectations. Dr. Manly is a clinical psychologist and wellness expert who specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. She is the author of the new book, Date Smart: Transform Your Relationships and Love Fearlessly.
