#throuple #polyamory #enm #kinkcommunity #therapist #lasvegas #ethicalnonmonogamy #nonmonogamy #swingerlife #swingercouple #polyamorous #sextherapy It is important in ethically non monogamous (ENM) relationships to know what kind of arrangement is going to work best for you, based on your needs and the needs of your partner(s). The problem with using “polyamory” as a blanket term is that often couples will THINK they mean the same thing when they talk about opening up a relationship, and this is where miscommunications can arise. What I hate to see happen is scenarios like this: “Bob said he wanted to open our relationship. I was fine with that until he started developing FEELINGS for one of the women he was seeing.” This might have been Bob’s intention all along, but his partner feels lied to. This is a COMMON miscommunication that I see all the time. Over the next few days, I am going to post some commonly used definitions of the various relationship styles, so we can all become better negotiators and advocates our needs, and empathetic and understanding of our partners needs. I only thought it appropriate to talk about love during February. With Valentines Day around the corner, I have been talking a LOT about the meaning of love in my practice. There are literally hundreds of definitions. Here in the US, our definition of what constitutes romantic love that leads to a dating relationship is so narrow. These are the top sexual complaints/issues in sex therapy. Even if the individuals in a partnership initially have different sexual styles and preferences, they eventually fall into one of the following patterns, according to research done by McCarthy & McCarthy (2009). What is your couple sexual style? What interventions did you try?

Ironically, this causes us to NOT get the outcome that we desire. Our anxiety becomes our greatest self-fulfilling prophecy. I am a lover of practical/real-life examples. If you can apply it to your own life, you are more likely to understand and change it. Example: fearing abandonment so much, that you try to control your lover. This pushes them away, and you end up being abandoned. Wanting to make genuine connections with others, but fearing how you will be perceived so much that you isolate yourself and never make the connections you seek, thus perpetuating isolation! These are a few examples I see often in my therapy practice. Comment below about how you have seen this play out in your life. #selfhealers #anxietyhelp #surrender #brenebrownquotes #therapistsofinstagram #lasvegastherapist That’s all we need to do: get curious. So often we judge and shame ourselves so harshly for trauma reactions…because we aren’t aware that they are TRAUMA REACTIONS. Becoming trauma aware is the first key step in recovery. I specialize in treating trauma, having walked this journey of trauma recovery myself. Healing IS possible. Keep seeking it, and it will not be denied to you! #selfhealers #emdr #traumarecovery #therapy #therapistsofinstagram #traumatherapy #love #vulnerability #holiday #mentalhealth During the holiday season, I am usually more reflective about acts of kindness: how one act of kindness can turn into a string of kind acts. I have been extremely lucky to have experienced this kindness since getting more involved in community that loves one another and places that as the highest value.
