Episode 12: Dating and Trauma with Miran Dalley

In this illuminating episode, licensed therapist Safrianna Lughna sits down with Miran Dalley, fellow therapist and owner of Inner Self Healing Center and coach for Healing Hearts Dating, to explore how trauma impacts our dating lives and relationships.

Drawing from their professional expertise and personal experiences, Safrianna and Miran discuss the concerning trends they've observed in online dating communities—where fear, hypervigilance, and misused terminology like "narcissist" and "gaslighting" have created a culture of disconnection rather than connection.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

- How past trauma creates patterns that show up in new relationships

- The difference between genuine red flags and trauma responses

- Why seeking validation from Facebook groups can increase anxiety

- How to distinguish between your intuition and your trauma telling you stories

- The importance of communication over "testing" your partners

- Why instant gratification culture makes dating harder

- Breaking free from gender norms and societal expectations in relationships

- Building self-love as the foundation for healthy partnerships

- The "burned haystack method" and why immediate rejection isn't always the answer

Miran shares wisdom about finding connection instead of disconnection, staying curious instead of defensive, and empowering ourselves to set boundaries while remaining open to authentic relationships.

This podcast is for anyone ready to explore uncomfortable truths, do the inner work, and contribute to collective healing. If you're tired of surface-level conversations and ready to go deeper, this is your space.
