Psych PAs On Call

In this episode of Psych PAs on Call, your favorite co-hosts dive headfirst into the highs, lows, and mental health twists of modern dating. From post-pandemic swiping trends to the emotional rollercoaster of ghosting, we're unpacking how dating apps are reshaping love, identity, and connection. Plus, we share tips for swiping mindfully and keeping your heart (and head) in check.

We explore how dating apps can build confidence—especially for those with social anxiety—while also being designed to keep us endlessly engaged. From the illusion of intimacy to the addictive nature of swiping, we break down what’s really happening beneath the surface of that scroll.

You’ll also hear our thoughts on the emotional impact of micro-rejections, why “intentionality” is everything, and how to cope with the pressures of modern romance without losing yourself in the process. Whether you're actively dating or taking a break, this episode offers a grounded look at how to approach dating apps with clarity, intentions, and better boundaries.

In this episode, we dive into the digital world to unpack how social media is shaping our mental health—for better and worse. From the pressure to present perfect lives to the doomscrolling spiral, we explore how these platforms impact mood, self-esteem, and connection. And hey, we’re not innocent either—time to get real about our screen habits.

We share insights on how mindfulness, digital detoxes, and therapy—like cognitive behavioral therapy for social media addiction—can help manage comparison and anxiety.

Don’t forget to check in with yourself: What value am I getting from this app? How do I feel after scrolling? And yes—affirmations matter: “You are kind, you are smart, you are important.”

Oh—and we are also challenging ourselves to do a digital detox. Did we succeed? Did we fail? Tune in next episode to find out how it went and what we learned about our own habits along the way!
