How The Dating Criterion Framework Works
The Dating Criterion Framework is part of Annie’s intentional partnership work. It addresses how driven women find, choose, build, and repair partnership in the structural conditions of modern life.
- Inside-out. start with self: values, attachment style, capacity. Not with the partner-shopping checklist.
- Non-negotiables vs preferences. separate the things that determine relational viability from the things that are aesthetic.
- Embodied check-in. how does this person register in the nervous system, not just on paper.
Who The Dating Criterion Framework Serves
driven women working with the proverbial house of life. Specifically, leaders, physicians, entrepreneurs, executives, and the women who have built impressive external lives but feel a heaviness internally.
Where The Dating Criterion Framework Lives
The Dating Criterion Framework appears in the following places in Annie’s clinical work:
- Individual therapy with Annie
- Executive coaching with Annie
- Annie’s forthcoming book, The Everything Years (W.W. Norton, 2027)
