Frequently asked questions

How is polyamory different from other forms of ethical non-monogamy?

Polyamory specifically emphasizes maintaining multiple loving and emotionally connected relationships. Other forms of ethical non-monogamy, such as open relationships or swinging, may prioritize physical connections without long-term emotional bonds.

Do all partners need to attend every therapy session?

Not necessarily. Some sessions may benefit from having all partners present, while others might be more productive with individual sessions. We can customize the approach based on what works best for everyone involved and the specific dynamics or issues being addressed

Can polyamory therapy help us transition from monogamy to polyamory?

Yes! Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the idea of opening up your relationship, discuss fears and expectations, and establish clear boundaries and communication strategies. This can help make the transition smoother and more intentional for everyone involved.

How do you handle confidentiality when multiple partners are involved?

Confidentiality is a priority in polyamory therapy, and we work carefully to maintain it. We’ll discuss boundaries and consent regarding what can be shared and ensure that each partner’s privacy is respected, while still addressing shared goals as a group.

Can polyamory therapy address issues with metamours (partners of my partner)?

Yes, we can absolutely explore metamour relationships in therapy. Navigating metamour dynamics can sometimes bring up unique challenges, and therapy can provide tools for fostering understanding, respect, and communication among all parties involved, even if they’re not in a direct relationship with each other.

Can polyamory therapy help if we’re thinking of ending or restructuring our relationship?

Yes, therapy can help you navigate decisions about ending or restructuring relationships with care and compassion. We can work on facilitating honest discussions, processing emotions, and exploring alternative relationship structures that might better align with your needs.
