Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re joined by New Yorker of the Week Emma Haberman, a New York City–based licensed psychotherapist, for a grounded, thoughtful conversation about love, dating, relationships, and how to approach February 14 without fully spiraling.
Emma Haberman, LCSW, is a therapist who works with individuals and incorporates somatic (body-based) therapy into her practice, helping people better understand their emotional patterns, nervous systems, and internal responses, including how those show up in dating and relationships. Her work blends insight, compassion, and practical tools for building more awareness and self-trust.
In this Valentine’s Day themed episode, we talk about:
Why dating and relationships can feel so activating
What attachment styles actually look like in real life
How somatic therapy helps you understand emotional reactions
Rethinking Valentine’s Day in a way that feels authentic
Approaching love with curiosity instead of self-judgment
It’s reflective, accessible, and exactly the kind of conversation you want in your ears while navigating love, dating, or simply being a person with feelings.
