Summary
Welcome back to you favorite therapy themed podcast. Today we're discussing dating apps, and how to navigate consent with Dr. Mindy DeSeta. Let's be honest. We've all received the dreaded and rather forward I might add, "unsolicited dick pic" or nude before a date. It's not always a bad thing, but it's not always welcome either. How should we handle situations like this? One dating app that is tackling this subject head on is Hily. They have been working with Dr DeSeta to create a great solution to this age old problem.
