Letting go after a herpes diagnosis can be complicated, especially when fear about finding acceptance again starts influencing your choices.

Maybe you’re holding onto a relationship you already know isn’t right because your partner accepts your diagnosis. Or maybe being told no after a herpes disclosure has made you afraid to date, disclose, or put yourself out there again.

In this episode of the Herpes Wellness Podcast, Cat Dupree talks about how to recognize when herpes may be influencing your relationship and dating choices, what you may actually be holding onto, and how to start letting go without needing to know exactly what happens next.

You’ll also get three questions you can use to look at your own situation and decide what you’d choose if fear and uncertainty weren’t making the decision for you.
