Poor Accountability

Lets Talk Sex And Dating ·

2025/12/14

Poor accountability is when someone refuses to own their choices, their behavior, or the impact they have on another person. Instead of being honest about what they’re doing—or not doing—they hide behind excuses, half-truths, or blame-shifting. It creates confusion, instability, and emotional whiplash for the person on the receiving end.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Emotional Pacing

Lets Talk Sex And Dating ·

2025/12/09

Emotional pacing helps both people stay attuned to their comfort levels. When one person floods the early stages with high-stakes intimacy, it throws off that balance and makes it hard to develop slowly. Instead of a layering of trust, the relationship can lurch forward without clear footing. The shift can feel like being fast-forwarded through a chapter you hadn’t opened, disrupting what could have been a shared unfolding.Become a supporter of this podcast:

Vulnerability Hangover

Lets Talk Sex And Dating ·

2025/12/09

Have you ever shared a deeply personal story, only to be hit with a wave of anxiety and regret moments or hours later? That feeling is exactly what researchers call a "vulnerability hangover." It’s that emotional discomfort, self-doubt, and even shame that can follow after we’ve opened up too much, too soon. It stems from a powerful fear of judgment, criticism, or even rejection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

Floodlighting

2025/12/09

Have you ever been on an early date where someone shared intensely private, often overwhelming, personal information — details about past traumas, deep insecurities, or even financial struggles — long before any real foundation of trust was built? Or perhaps you've found yourself doing it? This, according to researcher Brené Brown, is floodlighting.
