E.83 - When Polyamory Magnifies Your Relationship Problems with Heather Shannon

E.83 - When Polyamory Magnifies Your Relationship Problems with Heather Shannon

Today's guest in an awesome therapist from Michigan, Heather Shannon. After getting to know her a bit and find out why she is inspired to help people in non-monog/non-traditional relationships, we dive into how she might approach a client as a coach versus as a therapist.

We get some great insight into how Heather might help someone who is feeling lost or directionless, and then dive into some of what she's seen and her thought process when polyamory magnifies insecurities and relationship problems.

Heather gives a great explanation about attachment styles, and how they might help someone get to the root of jealousy and possessiveness.

We round out the conversation by talking about the importance and value of self-care and self-reliance, and finding the space where we can be both vulnerable and trusting and able to love openly and deeply, while still taking care of and protecting ourselves.

I had such a great time chatting with Heather and getting to learn from her experiences and share my own. I hope you gain as much value from this conversation as I did!
