Social Media and Relationships with Dr. Rachel Needle

 Dr. Kate and Rachel are talking today about Social media and dating, and how use of social media can effect real connection and intimacy. Do you find yourself watching a movie or having dinner with your partner and look over to see him/her looking at their phone? There is a large disconnect when one partner is distracted, and this can cause a ripple effect in the relationship; including a deterrent and turn-off to real intimacy and sexual intimacy. They also talk about how to bring up discussions of boundaries and guidelines with use of social media that is comfortable for both people as well as red flags to watch for in your partner’s social media use.

Dr. Rachel Needle is a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist in private practice and the founder and executive director of the Whole Health Psychological Center. She has been featured in a number of popular magazines such as Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, and Shape.
