The Right Swipe, ft. Dr. Randall Paulsen

This episode features the thoughtful Dr. Randall Paulsen M.D., whose Freudian flexes are based on 40 years of experience as a psychoanalyst, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, and faculty member at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He also served as the President of the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute from 2004 to 2008. We discuss online dating in the context of desire, narcissism, self image, and Scarlett Johansson's voice. We learn about projection, projective identification, and self objects, and how minimizing our fantasies might lead to more success in the online dating world.
