Relationship Advice

A full one-fifth of the United States has engaged in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) at some point in their lives, and 29 percent of adults under thirty today consider open relationships to be morally acceptable—yet there are few resources to turn to when it comes to navigating this more non-traditional and explorative territory. That's why Kate Loree has written a book and dedicated much of her professional life to assisting individuals and couples with this relationship style. Listen to today's show to get a deeper understanding of CNM and the tools to do it right. In this episode with Kate Loree, we discuss relationship advice topics that include: Understanding all of the different styles and options available in the realm of consensual non-monogamy The importance of setting boundaries and how to do it in CNM Understanding your attachment issues before and during engagement with CNM The biggest mistakes and misconceptions surrounding CNM Why don't ask, don't tell rarely works and should be avoided How to deal with falling in love in CNM Dealing with jealousy And much more!
