You may be feeling overwhelmed by the challenges that arise when living as polyamorous. As a queer and polyamorous person, I understand that deeply. It makes sense that emotions like fear or depression are brought up when we go outside of those norms, even for the seasoned nonmonogamous folks. Together we can navigate your polyamorous relationship structure if you or you and your partner(s) find yourselves with insecure attachment styles impacting your relationship(s), are having difficulty managing boundaries, or need help dismantling couple's privilege.
You deserve to feel accepted, valued, and back in charge of your own life. With our work individually or as a relationship with your partner(s), you will find that you'll be able to express your emotions clearly to the people in your life, advocate for your wants and needs more effectively, and as a result find yourself feeling less stress.
Please reach out to me if any of this resonated with you. You can have a healthy, fulfilling life while living as polyamorous and I am here to help you achieve that. Please email me so we can set up a free phone consultation to talk in more detail about what your wants and needs are.
