Tips for Polyamory Beginners

Transitioning from monogamy to polyamory reveals a lot of sneaky ways that monogamy culture is ingrained in our culture and way of thinking. If you’re transitioning from monogamy to polyamory, you’ll be confronted with a lot of ways that monogamy culture tells us what time and attention we deserve from our partner. Our culture constantly reinforces the dialogue that monogamous relationships are the only healthy form of romantic relationships and that we should control how our partner spends their time, who they hang out with, and what they do. Unlearning this narrative is a journey, but it can go more smoothly when there is an open line of communication with your partners. I know I say it a lot, but communication really is key. When you can speak with your partners about what you're struggling with, it's a lot easier to unpack the mono-normativity mindset. 💜 Get Unfuck Your Polyamory: https://unfuckyourpolyamory.com/ Read This American Ex-Wife by Lyz Lenz: https://www.amazon.com/This-American-Ex-Wife-Marriage-Started/dp/0593241126/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 Full Transcript Here: https://drlizpowell.com/what-should-someone-look-out-for-when-being-new-to-polyamory/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- I’M DR.
