Best 2022 Relationship Advice From Therapists

Why are ‘tiny relationships’ important and how to get them

When I first heard the term “tiny relationships”, I thought that was just a fling. Turns out it’s not: the definition of tiny relationships is the casual bonds we form with strangers or acquaintances. Think of your neighbours, the people who work at your local shops, your post, and some work colleagues from a different

The holiday period in particular may bring these tensions up, and winter in general isn’t the best time for many people’s mental health.

Tinder Is Taking An Active Role In Its Users’ Mental Health. How Will This Improve Everyone’s Relationships?

Sometimes, dating apps do weird things to try and attract new users. Remember finding matches by reviewing memes, or additions on your profile where you could talk about your favourite Friends episode for two minutes?

What Happens When Bad Relationships End? How Do You Move On And Thrive? 

Breakups suck. I remember being dumped at 17 and looking around my college canteen, wondering if anyone had ever been so miserable. All I thought about was my ex and what had gone wrong. Extreme melodrama aside, I think most people will confidently say that they don’t enjoy the tumult of breakups, the awkward “let’s

Does Anyone Really Believe That We’re Becoming Worse And Unhappier Because We Can Text?

In September, The Atlantic published an article called “Technology Can Make Your Relationships Shallower”, written by a man called Arthur C Brooks. I think I speak for all of us when I say Okay, Boomer. Brooks starts by citing a study done in 1998 about internet usage in communal living spaces. As someone born in

How To Create A Healthy And Respectful Long-Term Relationship

Experts are going to disagree on the most important thing in a relationship. Is it affection, love, respect, a shared sense of humour, complimentary values, support, or chemistry?
