poly and ethical non monogamy therapy with poly+ therapisT
Understanding your relational needs, no need to educate AJ Goodlad!
I have a lived experience of poly and ENM relationship styles.
I am well experienced working with clients in established poly constellations, hookups or friends with benefits relationship styles (and many other). Therapeutic sessions can look at addressing the practicalities of managing relationship needs and boundaries. What is ethical non monogamy within your unique relationship(s)? For some its don't ask don't tell, for others more kitchen table style poly, non-hierarchical, hierarchical, relationship anarchy and everything in-between.
I have supported many clients as they open up their monogamous relationship. Being supported at the start of this journey can be emotionally holding as changes appear in the relationship.
What are you and your partner(s) boundaries? Some of the beauty of poly/ENM relationships is you get to make the rules for your consenting relationships. Therapeutic work can be addressing and trying to understanding feelings of anxiety, insecurity, rejection, jealousy, compersion or anything else!
Navigating cishet mono normative structures within society can be marginalising, othering and/or oppressive. But being poly can also feel like a radical act, anti capitalist and an expansion of love. I want to understand the nuances of your unique relationships and needs as you experience them.
I offer a place to discuss all of the above and more. Please get in touch if you’d like to talk in a safe, empathic, non judgmental therapeutic relationship.
