Query: Hi! I’m looking for therapists to share their favorite conversation-starters — so that we never have to ask “How’s the weather?” or “What do you do for work?” again. Please tell me your best conversation starter, why it’s a good one, in what situations it works best, and anything else you’d like to add. I’d appreciate personal details about when you’ve used it, how people responded, etc. I will likely schedule a phone interview to dive more in-depth.

Requirements: Therapists/mental health professionals only. This is for a well-known publication.

Query: For a well-known pub. I’m looking for mental health professionals to share examples of what gaslighting actually looks like — as part of the ongoing effort to stop incorrect usage of the word. Please share:

  1. A statement that represents gaslighting
  2. Explain why it’s an example of gaslighting — the more detail that will help people learn to identify what gaslighting actually is, the better.

Requirements: Mental health professionals only.

Query: As we all know, dating apps are becoming an increasingly toxic experience. I’m looking for psychologists who can weigh in:

  1. Are dating app users truly addicted to variety, as some have speculated?
  2. Does this help explain why many men, for example, are treating the women they take out so poorly?
