Have you ever known something felt off… but stayed anyway?

In this episode of Shrinks on Tap, psychologists Lauren Fisher and Eleni Boosalis unpack the red flags women often ignore in dating—from love bombing and inconsistency to emotional unavailability, boundary pushing, and unresolved trauma.

They explore why chemistry can cloud judgment, why your nervous system often knows before your mind does, and what healthy dating actually feels like.

In this episode:

• Love bombing and fast emotional intensity

• Inconsistency, ghosting, and mixed signals

• Why some relationships feel exciting—but unsafe

• Red flags vs yellow flags

• What secure, emotionally healthy dating looks like

If you’ve ever thought…

“I knew… but I stayed.”

This episode is for you.

What happens when two psychologists decide a bar crawl can become something much bigger than drinks?

In this special mini episode of Shrinks on Tap, Dr. Lauren Fisher and Dr. Eleni Boussalas share the story behind the Women’s Crawl… a one-of-a-kind experience designed to bring women together through connection, empowerment, mental health, movement, and community.

What began as one unforgettable gathering is quickly becoming something bigger… a movement built around helping women feel seen, supported, and connected.

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ Why the first crawl created such a powerful response
✨ Why Falls Church became the next city
✨ The meaning behind this year’s theme: Step Into Your Power
✨ Why this is for women of all ages—not just “bar crawl” crowds
✨ The charity partner supporting women and children in transition
✨ Why Shrinks on Tap hopes to bring this movement to cities across the country

If you’ve ever left a relationship wondering,
“Was it me?”… this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down what narcissistic traits actually look like in real life, how gaslighting shows up in relationships, and why so many people start to question their own thoughts, feelings, and reality.

This isn’t just about diagnosing someone as a narcissist. It’s about understanding patterns like:

• feeling like you’re “too sensitive”
• walking on eggshells
• constantly trying to fix things or keep the peace
• replaying conversations and blaming yourself

We also talk about the difference between narcissistic traits and full personality disorders, how these dynamics often start (hint: it doesn’t look toxic at first), and what to pay attention to early on.

If you’ve ever felt confused, drained, or like you lost yourself in a relationship… you’re not alone.
