Dr. Liz Powell is an open relationship expert. Find out when you should and shouldn’t open your relationship, how partnerships change after they become non-monogamous, how to emotionally prepare for opening up, the pitfalls of unicorn hunting, the different types of non-monogamous relationship styles and how to figure out what’s best for you, and how to manage jealousy. Surprisingly, much of Dr. Liz’s advice applies to any type of relationship–from monogamous romantic ones to relationships with friends, family, or co-workers. She tells us how avoidance reinforces negative emotions, techniques for establishing healthy boundaries, the challenges of wanting to change someone’s negative behavior, and more. No matter what kind of relationship you are in or you desire, this episode has excellent resources for your happiness.
