Is it really a red flag… or just human?
In this episode of The Relationship Pod, I sit down with our in-house psychotherapist, Reshma, to unpack what’s gone wrong with how we use the term 'red flag' in today’s dating culture. We explore how trauma, attachment styles, and fast-paced social media trends have transformed this once-useful concept into something that can actually block intimacy.
Together, we get into:
🚩 How “red flag” culture has shifted from protection to perfectionism
🧠 Why our nervous systems and trauma responses can distort what we see in others
⏳ The pressure to judge fast—and how it’s keeping us disconnected 💬 The real markers of healthy connection: empathy, boundaries, and repair
❤️ Why building trust means unpacking our baggage together, not avoiding it entirely
