Dating Sunday: Strategies To Navigate Telehealth Therapy
To some people, Dating Sunday can be an opportunity to reflect on relationship goals and mental wellbeing. As one of the busiest online dating days of the year, it’s also a time when many consider seeking support for relationship challenges. Below, learn the meaning of Dating Sunday and strategies to approach mental health support through telehealth therapy this year.
Dating Sunday on the first Sunday of January
Every year, the first Sunday in January is Dating Sunday. According to Newsweek, Dating Sunday is the busiest day of the year for online dating. A survey of 3,000 people conducted by the dating site Hinge found a 29% hike in messages and a 27% hike in “likes” on Dating Sunday in 2023, compared to the figures for an average Sunday.
The significance of the new year
The new year marks a fresh start for many people seeking to improve their relationships and mental health. The beginning of January often inspires reflection on personal growth and connection goals. The new year brings hope as one chapter ends and another begins, making it an ideal time to consider how telehealth therapy might support your relationship journey.
Strategies for connection: The new year ahead
Dating and relationships can create both anticipation and nervousness. Some people include in their New Year’s resolutions a desire to approach relationships in a way that is open yet protective of their mental health. The following are some strategies that ReachLink’s licensed clinical social workers recommend for navigating relationships in the year ahead.
Moderating expectations
Relationships can be exciting, but entering dating situations with high expectations may lead to disappointment. Our licensed clinical social workers encourage clients to remain open to opportunities while setting realistic expectations. Many people experience challenges with this balance, so if you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone.
Being open to new therapeutic approaches
People often approach therapy with certain expectations about how it should work. However, being open to different therapeutic modalities can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. ReachLink’s telehealth platform allows you to connect with licensed clinical social workers who can help you explore new approaches to relationship challenges, even if they differ from your initial expectations.
Scheduling dedicated therapy sessions
In today’s busy world, it can be difficult to prioritize mental health. Setting a regular schedule for telehealth therapy sessions can help you maintain consistency in your mental health journey. ReachLink’s flexible scheduling allows you to book video sessions that fit your lifestyle, whether that’s once weekly or on a schedule that works best for you.
How to set boundaries
When navigating relationships, setting healthy boundaries is essential. Many people struggle with establishing appropriate limits, whether it’s with potential partners or within existing relationships. ReachLink’s licensed clinical social workers can help you identify your personal boundaries and develop effective communication strategies to express them. Through secure video sessions, you can work on building relationship skills that honor your needs while fostering meaningful connections.
Getting support with relationship challenges
While the above strategies may be useful for navigating relationships, sometimes professional support can make all the difference. ReachLink’s licensed clinical social workers provide an objective outside perspective on situations in a person’s dating and relationship life. Our therapists might use an approach like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and replace negative and inaccurate thoughts they have about themselves or their relationships.
Telehealth therapy for finding connection: The new year ahead
Some people may be uncomfortable discussing their relationship situations in a conventional in-office therapy setting. With ReachLink’s telehealth platform, you can engage in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Our secure video conferencing provides a comfortable environment to discuss sensitive relationship topics with a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in relationship issues, couples therapy, and family dynamics.
In recent years, numerous peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of online therapy. One study published in 2017 found that online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was effective for several mental disorders, including depression and social anxiety disorder, both of which may cause challenges with dating and relationships.
Takeaway
Dating Sunday, which occurs on the first Monday of January every year, is considered the busiest day of the year for dating apps. This day can serve as an opportunity to reflect on your relationship goals and consider how telehealth therapy might support your journey. Dating and relationships can bring out nervousness and memories of past hurtful experiences. If you’re experiencing emotional challenges related to dating or relationships, you may benefit from speaking with a licensed clinical social worker through ReachLink’s telehealth platform. Take the first step toward healthier relationships by reaching out for professional support today.
