Both the Atlantic's critique of polyamory and my defense of it shared the same villain - "therapy culture", the idea that you should prioritize "finding your true self" and make drastic changes if your current role doesn't seem "authentically you".
A friend recently suggested a defense of this framework, which surprised me enough that I now relay it to you.
