You Want to Experience the Fullness of Yourself While Honoring Your Relationship(s)!
Do you long for a variety of connections? Have you felt a spark of aliveness when someone flirts with you? Have been trying to suppress desire for others to stay within implicit or explicit relationship agreements?
Despite what society tries to depict about ideal relationships, all of your needs aren’t being met with one person. You know this AND you’ve been unsure how to express this when dating or you’re partnered and there are so many things you love and value about your person, and you don’t want to lose them.
If you’ve struggled to be monogamous in your past or current relationships, if you notice attraction to someone new because they’re into the same games as you, or read your favorite authors, or wear a beautiful scent, you’re not broken and you’re not alone.
For you, and many others, it doesn’t feel natural to limit your attraction and affection to one person. Even the idea of talking to someone else might “get you in trouble.” You feel a simultaneous yearning and confinement. And you think the choice is to limit yourself or to betray your partner.
What if there’s another way?
Maybe you’ve read an article or seen people talking about Polyamory on TikTok and you’re curious. Discovering you want to explore nonmonogamy can be a really vulnerable thing to realize about yourself and really scary to share with others because there hasn’t been an accessible script. If you’re curious for yourself or with a partner, you will be supported here.
Are you ready to have descriptive relationships? YOU get to decide what type of relationship(s) you want to be in, how you want to show up, and what you want to receive. Healthy relationships are symbiotic and mutually supportive, no matter the structure.
All relationship structures are valid. The only “wrong” way is when those involved don’t have informed consent. If there’s deception or coercion, the relationship becomes parasitic and lacking in trust.
While we can help either way, it’s better to see a counselor proactively to figure it out rather than reactively after a betrayal.
You Are Worthy of Having the Type of Love You Crave
Nonmonogamy takes many forms and A LOT of communication. There’s as many ways to do it as there are people in relationships. A few common types are: open relationships, polyamory, solo polyamory, mono-polyamory, swinging, asexuality, aromance, and more.
Our intimacy specialist, Sky, has practiced nonmonogamy for over fifteen years. She has personally implemented best practices and can help you create the exact relationship structure that’s right for you now; as well as provide tools for how to reassess and create new agreements as things evolve. Sky is a polyamory-affirmative therapist and has shared her expertise with our team so that we are all able to be polyamory-friendly therapists. We are dedicated to gaining appropriate training and knowledge to work with any kind of relationship that needs help.
Being in multiple relationships that have infinite possibilities is a fast-track to learn about yourself, find new interests, and have freedom to explore what naturally arises in each connection!
You can learn how to attune to yourself and others, to clearly express your needs and boundaries, to approach intimacy in new ways, and discover what’s truly important and nourishing to you.
Therapy gives you a chance to share your truth. There’s no judgment and no pressure to fit an expected mold, just space and lots of compassion. We’ll provide understanding, support, and practical tools for exploring an edgy new paradigm shift from what relationships are supposed to be to what they could be and what feels right for you.
Most importantly, you’ll get to develop and grow an amazing relationship with your therapist, who will help you accept and express the full spectrum of your needs and desires with yourself, your partner, and others, at your own pace.
When you graduate from sessions, you’ll be able to walk away with full confidence that as relationships enter, leave, or transition, you will have the tools to create the types of connection(s) you truly desire.
If you’re ready to claim the love and intimacy you didn’t think you could have, and is totally possible, we can help you. Contact us at (832) 827-3288 to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation so we can discuss your needs.
