What is polyamory and consensual non-monogamy?
Often times, polyamory and consensual non-monogamy is taboo in the American culture. Furthermore, therapy for couples can help you explore consensual monogamy and polyamorous relationships with healthy boundaries. Unfortunately, many people go about this the wrong way, with lies and deceit. In order to have a strong foundation of trust and commitment, your therapist helps you negotiate new boundaries. Furthermore, setting up a consensual, non-monogamous relationship takes time and lots of talking. Therefore, work with Katie Ziskind, a poly friendly couples therapist who knows how to deal with these important marriage issues. Furthermore, opening a marriage takes a lot of communication, and emotional energy. Opening a marriage should never be done on your own, or without a therapist for guidance. Unfortunately, when people do this on their own, hurt, betrayal, cheating, and lying often are a result.
