#29 - Society has made us believe that relationships exist in a binary form; a long-term commitment to one person, or no commitment at all. There are people who are well suited to this model, but if you, like us and our guest today, Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, have a high desire for stability and security (which is driven by your serotonin system) as well as a high desire for sexual novelty (which is driven by your dopamine system), you’re not going to thrive in a relationship where you are only permitted to be intimate with one person. A lifelong non-monogamist, adjunct professor of human sexuality, and holder of a PhD in developmental psychology, Zhana is an expert on this topic, in a personal and professional sense, and in this episode she will equip with you with the knowledge and confidence you need to feel unashamed and empowered within your non-monogamous relationships!
