In this episode we pick up where we left off in part 1 and take a deeper dive into WHY making a transition to a different relating style of consensual / ethical non-monogamy can be such an issue for couples. These new and unexpected feelings and struggles often come as a surprise as prior to making the change they might have felt secure in what they were doing. If you missed part 1, we shared the 5 essential steps to feel good in making a change in your relationship: ✅ Understanding what makes you want to make the change ✅ Finding clarity around what you want and developing your personal relationship vision ✅ Communication (no surprise this is on the list right?) ✅ Making a plan to implement that vision including agreements you might want to make ✅ Regular reviews and making adjustments as necessary.
