Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“[ENM] does not have to be any kind of way as long as all members involved feel safe and like they are being respected in the relationships.”

“[Partners demonstrating people-pleasing] may be quieter or they're going to protest slightly but they back down. So it's very much like being pulled along is how I would describe it. That doesn't mean they're being coerced necessarily or not wanting it, but having that lack of differentiation of identifying really what their own needs, values, and feelings are and actually verbalizing them is what I notice.”
