When I started actually practicing non-monogamy, it opened up a lot of triggers for me as someone who has complex PTSD it kind of brought all of my

relational trauma right up to the surface in a way that kind of knocked me

out like screwed up my sleep schedule, interfered with me working, like really was debilitating.

And it was this very confusing experience because everything that I was learning about non-monogamy

like resonated with me deeply I felt like I'd found who I really am and was like

oh okay now I have a word for this thing that I am at my core like I'm coming to understand I am polyamorous this is me

holy shit I can't believe I've been not exploring this my entire life

but then actually in putting it into practice was having the experience of my body of like

utter panic and dysregulation.

Welcome to the multi-amory podcast.

I'm Jace. I'm Emily and I'm Dettaker. We believe in looking

to the future of relationships not maintaining the status quo of the past. Whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, swinging,

casually dating, or if you just do relationships differently, we see you and we're

here for you. you. Froms I know I did.

Forson me to for myself to fit.

On this episode of the Multiamery Podcast,

we're going to be getting into topics that are especially important for people who are new to non-monogamy,

or if you know someone who's new to it, maybe you're so old hat that you've forgotten

what that was like.

But if you're opening a relationship or just getting into this for the first time,

a lot of really intense emotions can come up. And those can sometimes be ignored or not really given as much attention as they could be from the larger

polyamorous community who's kind of figured some of that out already.
