How to Avoid the Mistakes We Made When Opening Up


Listen Later

Mistakes in relationships are common, but do they have you feeling"poly-frightened"?

You know... the jealousy, self-doubt and frustration ... that throbbing pain in your chest and the intense overwhelming feeling that you just aren't going to figure out how to make your open or polyamorous relationship work? And that you'll make the same mistakes over and over again?

You're not alone. We've faced these things as have so many others!

In this week's episode, we delve into a topic that many of us can relate to: the common mistakes made when first opening up to polyamory or other form of consensual non-monogamy.

Join us as we open the vault and candidly share with you some of our dirty laundry - the mistakes we made at the beginning of our polyamory journey and how you can avoid making the same ones!

Topics we cover include unicorn hunting, allowing jealousy to fuel poor communication, hierarchy, not understanding all of our "stuff" we were bringing into the relationship (like attachment), STI testing, and talking about what we each wanted out of being consensually non-monogamy.

Don't get us wrong. We still mess up from time to time and face tough moments. The difference now is that we have the tools to recover from these things quickly and use them to power our relationship rather than cause micro-tears in the fabric of it.

If you need support navigating your open relationship with ease & pleasure we can help! Check out our website where you can find out about our digital course Poly Newbies, different ways you can work directly with us and access a ton of free resources!
