The SH Method for Dating
What I didn’t know that I didn’t know about dating, relationships and intimacy where the blindspots and barriers we have to connection and intimacy as humans, in our cultures and as individuals. Traditional counseling education and internships don’t explore the subjects of dating or intimacy with any depth. They talk about relationship issues we develop because of family dysfunction and they help teach communication skills. And that is helpful but they don’t talk about what intimacy is or how to create fulfilling human connection. They don’t talk about dating culture, rules, approaches, or views. So I’ve been studying and exploring those worlds through a psychological lens. All the rules, manipulations, misunderstandings and confusion you may have had to navigate. Lessons learned so you don’t have to repeat them and you can get to the best parts of the story faster. Together we can remove the barriers that are in your way whether you are new to dating, feeling stuck about dating or are back to dating after a breakup. Through all the struggles I’ve witnessed, including my own, I’ve discovered a whole new approach. I realized that seeing our personal and community blind spots and removing barriers to connection and intimacy transforms a vicious cycle into a breakthrough. A discovery of freedom and fulfilling connection. And life becomes suddenly more vivid and we feel more alive because meaningful connection is a timeless, deep, and sacred human need.
“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
— Rumi
“I wanted to write off relationships forever after my divorce. I reached out to Shirin and she helped me complete my past and helped me really understand myself. Now I am in a relationship and am happy. Dating consciously and with presence of mind made all the difference in my world. I am a better man for having taken that path.”
