Summary

A full one-fifth of the United States has engaged in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) at some point in their lives, and 29 percent of adults under thirty today consider open relationships to be morally acceptable—yet there are few resources to turn to when it comes to navigating this more non-traditional and explorative territory. That's why Kate Loree has written a book and dedicated much of her professional life to assisting individuals and couples with this relationship style. Listen to today's show to get a deeper understanding of CNM and the tools to do it right. In this episode with Kate Loree, we discuss relationship advice topics that include: Understanding all of the different styles and options available in the realm of consensual non-monogamy The importance of setting boundaries and how to do it in CNM Understanding your attachment issues before and during engagement with CNM The biggest mistakes and misconceptions surrounding CNM Why don't ask, don't tell rarely works and should be avoided How to deal with falling in love in CNM Dealing with jealousy And much more!

0:00.0	What's going on guys, thanks so much for joining us today, and we'll see you in the next
0:25.2	episode of what's going on guys. Thanks so much for tuning in to today's show. I really enjoyed my
0:34.1	conversation today with Kate Laurie. Kate is a sex positive licensed marriage and family therapist
0:41.4	with a specialty in non-monogamous, kink, LGBTQ and sex worker communities. In addition to her
0:49.9	master's in marriage and family therapy, she also has an MBA and is a registered art therapist.
0:56.9	And today we talk about consensual non-monogamy and Kate has also been a practitioner herself of
1:05.3	consensual non-monogamy since 2003. So I think that's important in listening to her and she's
1:13.4	drawing on her experience personally and in her work with her clients. And we talk about
1:19.5	how to navigate it, whether you're in it right now, you're just curious or you're beginning to
1:25.7	start. There's lots of things to be aware of and things that can make it hard that Kate touches

2:07.1	If you're struggling through a breakup or just trying to figure things out because
2:12.0	one of the things Kate says is just to understand that you're having a human experience and sometimes
2:18.8	things get hard and difficult and that you are not alone. And that's why I love doing this show
2:25.6	to be able to get the information for myself, share it with you guys and to tell you that you are not
2:31.8	alone. Enjoy today's episode. Hi, Kate. Thanks so much for joining me on the show today.
2:44.8	Well, thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here.
2:48.6	Today, we're going to talk about consensual non-monogamy. And you've written a book about it.
