Why the ‘Polyamory and Breakups’ Resource?
Polyam breakups are challenging to navigate.
You are broken hearted. You may not being able to seek outside support because people in your life don’t understand and/or will just blame your breakup on polyamory; invalidating your feelings in the process.
You’re questioning whether it’s ok to ask for support from your other partners. Plus, life still keeps moving forward as you try to sort this out.
That’s why I created this resource.
This is the opportunity to not only learn about how to handle breakups in poly, but to gain the skills to prepare for breakups WITH your partners.
Listen, this is not because breakups are inevitable. But they aren't improbable. So we might as well talk about them while everyone likes each other.
Plus, the beautiful thing about polyamory is that we're kinda saying FU to how we "normally" do relationships, anyway. So why not do that from beginning to end.
The other thing that happens and is possible in poly is transitioning relationships rather than breaking up. This is also a skill and it's not always obvious or easy to do that.
So come listen to 13 people who have been through it.
We can absolutely have breakups and transitions without all of the drama.
It is possible.
See you there!
In this recording learn from experts on how to:
Navigate polyamorous breakups while still feeling grounded and connected to your partners
Transition relationships to fit both people's changing needs
Ask for help from other partners even if it feels weird
Talk about breakups when you still like each other even though you think you may not need to
Share about what you need during a poly breakup to people in your life
And much much more

Breakups can be disorienting and polyamorous breakups can turn your world upside down.

You may even have people who are convinced or at least have mentioned to you that if you weren’t poly maybe this wouldn’t have happened.
