The Psychology of Relationships: Lessons from the Bachelorette Andi Dorfman Just off the heels of the finale of another season of ABC’s The Bachelorette with Andi Dorfman, it’s a good opportunity to look at where our culture is regarding morals, relationships, and, sex. First Clare Crawley and Juan Pablo, then Andi Dorfman and Nick Viall. Before the season started, it was reported that Chris Harrison explained why Andi “was basically Sean Lowe.” We all know that was an erroneous projection. Conversely, morals and the sanctity of sex is fading. People’s standards of behavior and beliefs about what is and isn’t acceptable to do has to leave many concerned about future generations. In a recent interview with Huffington Post, Andi called Josh Murray’s proposal “sacred.” That had to have sent mixed signals to fans since she had a very different reaction to Nick Viall questioning her motive for “making love” to him in the fantasy suite. It seems a bit backwards since sex is sacred in many religions. Nick Viall appeared to be thrown off by Andi’s demeanor for the very reason that Andi was so upset with Juan Pablo Galavis after the fantasy suite experience. Andi said the fantasy suite experience with Juan Pablo was ”a disaster” and that she felt “cheap” the morning afterwards. She was so hurt and upset about her experience that she drilled him about it the next day and decided she couldn’t go on with the relationship. In a world that’s quickly changing in perspectives, morals, and values, it was refreshing to hear and see Nick express that his intimacy with Andi “meant something”...

Unfortunately, according to the Center for Disease Control, Texas still has the nation’s 4th highest teen birth rate. Dallas is #1 in the nation for repeat teen pregnancies. As a former Texas child bride, and, subsequently teen mom, this issue is very dear to my heart. So, I’ve partnered with local school districts, e.g., Dallas, I.S.D., Highland Park, I.S.D. and Frisco, I.S.D., to make free workshops available to mothers and teen daughters. It takes positive role models, interventions such as the free workshops, qualified professionals and supportive communities for programs to be successful. Plano Women’s Club has contributed to the community changer program I implemented last year, and, more businesses are learning about it. However, without the support of communities, free workshops are not...

Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce You (TM) Mobilizes 500 Entrepreneurial Women to Sashay for a Cause: Reduce Texas Teen Pregnancies DALLAS, Nov. 1 /Send2Press/ — Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce YouTM and Dr. Trevicia recently unveiled a campaign to deputize 500 professional and entrepreneurial women in the beauty, health and wellness industries to collaborate to inspire and educate teenage girls ages 13-18 and reduce teen and unplanned pregnancies in Texas. Helping Dallas Fort-Worth teenagers and families cope with the increased stress levels associated with peer pressure and self-esteem crisis. Texas is second in the nation for teen pregnancies, and, every 10 minutes a child is conceived. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, only 40 percent of teenagers who have children before age 18 go on to graduate from high school, compared to 75 percent of teens from similar social and economic backgrounds who do not give birth until ages 20 or 21. Self-esteem is a crisis. A Dove study, Real Girls, Real Pressure: A National Report on the State of Self-Esteem, shows 7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family members. During the Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce YouTM Campaign, Dr. Trevicia Williams will energize women to get involved with the movement and sashay for a cause on January 11. Drawing from her own bounce back experience along with over a decade of academic studies in human behavior, she inspires people to think higher while teaching them how to overcome obstacles and become effective. Dr. Trevicia Williams will take snippets...
