Podcasts about building open relationships

What do you do when one partner wants to open up the relationship; and the other wants to stay monogamous? How do you broach the topic? What issues tend to arise among discordant couples?  Dr. Liz Powell is an author, sex educator, keynote speaker, and licensed psychologist specializing in non-traditional relationships. They join us to weigh in on this topic and share their perspective as a therapist who also identifies as polyamorous.   Over the last 4 years, Liz's book, Building Open Relationships, has helped non-monogamous people around the world grow and strengthen their relationship(s). One person even said it was the “most helpful, up-to-date book on ethical non-monogamy.” Building Open Relationships is a practical, applied resource to help you navigate the world of ethical non-monogamy. As a sex educator and psychologist, Liz believes that Great Sex Can Change The World; and is on a mission to help as many people as they can - to understand and embrace the sexual revolution that's happening in the world right now. While they are so glad the book has been able to reach so many folks and provide them with some resources, they know that there are folks who haven't been able to access it yet because, until now, it's only been available in print and e-book. Because their mission is to help as many people as they can, they believe that they have a responsibility to make their work accessible to all, so they're doing an Indiegogo campaign so that they can finally record an audiobook!

Discordant Couples: When One Partner Wants An Open Relationship Participant #1: You're listening to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast, sex and Relationship Advice you can use tonight. Welcome to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. I'm your coach co host, Brandon. We're here with my lovely other half, Dr. Jess. Hey, we are going to get right into it because our guest is ready to go. The lovely Dr. Liz Powell is a psychologist, a sex educator, a speaker, an incredible author of Building Open Relationships, which is a guide that I've recommended in the past. It's a really practical resource to help you navigate the world of ethical non monogamy. It's not just the theory. It's also like, well, here are some things I should think about. Here are some things that I might want to reflect upon. Here are some ways to start that conversation. This book has been super helpful to me, super helpful to many clients. So I'm super excited to have Dr. Liz with us right now. Thanks for being here. Thank you so much for having me again and for all those compliments on my book. That's so lovely to hear. Thank you. Now, your book has been in print and it's been an ebook, but you actually have a new version coming out, is that correct? Yeah. So I'm hoping to record an audio book. I want to make the book as accessible as possible to everybody. A lot of people who are deaf or hard of hearing, even like, or who are blind or visually impaired, they often struggle even with ebooks. A lot of the ways to have ebooks read on your screen are not particularly great. So I would like to record an audiobook for it. I'm running an indiegogo right now to help fund the recording of that. As I'm sure everyone can guess, recording can get expensive. And I want to make sure it's high quality audio for everybody because I don't know...

"Acknowledging compersion isn't denying our jealousy. You can have a lot of different emotional 'foods' on your 'plate' at once." "We shouldn't beat ourselves up if we don't feel compersion the first day, just like we don't beat up our gardens for not sprouting the day we first plant and water the seeds." Laura and Dr. Liz Powell talk about how to interpret your jealousy, use it as information to keep yourself moving toward your values even when it's hard, and to see compersion as a non-required but aquirable skill that you can work on if you want to. Polyamorous references often make jealousy into a sort of boogeyman spectre and compersion into its antidote, and neither of these things are true - pretty much at all. Emotions are a lot messier than the idea of putting them on opposing spectrums makes it sound, and relationships are a lot more fluid than blaming all problems on "you're just jealous" and all solutions on "being more compersive" could ever cover. So join us for today's podcast episode for a discussion of some of the why and some of the how of both parts of this issue.

"I don't remember exactly what I was scared of, but I'm pretty sure it was younger, blonder, and prettier than me, at least." In today's episode, Laura tells the story of two of her earliest non-monogamous relationships as a frame for explaining ways to make relationship agreements (and some really good examples of ways not to). You can get out some popcorn and enjoy the spectacle of her insecure and underinformed early 20s in between listening to excellent advice.

On ep 153 of American Sex Podcast, Kevin Patterson & Dr. Liz Powell talk about the complexities of both finding a therapist knowledgeable about non-normative lifestyles/identities and becoming a therapist who is. Learn why non-monogamous people shy away from therapy, questions to ask practitioners when searching, and how to handle a judgmental or uneducated health professional or coach. Find out if vanilla therapists can ever be a good fit for clients in alt lifestyles, why many therapists don’t divulge their personal experience with non-monogamy, if there’s professional credentialing to indicate a provider can work effectively with clients in these communities, and why censorship is making it more difficult for people to find polyamory and kink-friendly therapists.  ____________________________________ --Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to americansexpodcast@gmail.com --To support American Sex podcast, please visit patreon.com/americansex (plus you’ll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!) --Get friendly with us on Twitter at @AmericanSexPod or visit sunnymegatron.com or americansexpodcast.com --Join our mailing list by visiting http://sunnymegatron.com/newsletter            Sunny & Ken, xo! ____________________________________ Episode 153 Links  Unfuck Your Polyamory Courses for both clinicians and individuals https://unfuckyourpolyamory.com/?wpam_id=5 (professional weekend intensive coming up 2/20/21) Dr. Liz Powell Twitter http://twitter.com/drlizpowell Dr. Liz Powell Instagram http://instagram.com/drlizpowell Dr. Liz Powell Website https://drlizpowell.com/  Building Open Relationships http://buildingopenrelationsips Kevin Patterson Twitter http://twitter.com/PolyRoleModels Kevin Patterson Instagram http://instagram.com/PolyRoleModels Poly Role Models https://polyrolemodels.tumblr.com/ Love’s Not Color Blind Book Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1944934464/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_t2_DiNUzbMDAA9EW Kink & Poly Aware Professional List from NCFS https://www.kapprofessionals.org/ Polyamory Friendly Professionals List https://www.polyfriendly.org/ Healthy Erotic Humiliation Class 2/24/21 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sanctuarys-the-course-hot-and-healthy-humiliation-by-sunny-megatron-tickets-138121642551 American Sex Podcast Discord Community http://bit.ly/discordasp American Sex Podcast subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/americansexpodcast American Sex Podcast Patreon http://patreon.com/americansex   Episode 153 Sponsor, Affiliate & Giveaway Info $25 off and free shipping when you spend $100 or more at http://brooklinen.com with promo code SUNNY Get 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com with code SUNNY http://manscaped.com 10% off American Sex Podcast & Sunny Megatron merch with code SUNNY (t-shirts, mugs, phone cases & more) http://bit.ly/sunnyshirts Sunny & Ken’s classes on Kink Academy http://bit.ly/kinkacademyelectric & http://bit.ly/kinkacademyhumiliation Prostate Play for Beginners (recorded class) from Sugar Baltimore https://www.sugartheshop.com/prostate-milking-for-beginners.html 15% off your order at Lovehoney when you use this link http://bit.ly/lovehoney15 (This link can be a little wonky and does not keep tracking cookies.

"Look, let's use an example that has nothing to do with polyamory - Let's talk about TERFs." Laura talks with Dr. Liz Powell (despite the best efforts of the local cable internet monopoly to make it impossible to do so) about hierarchies in polyamorous networks. They touch on reasons people often enter their polyamorous journies with prescriptive hierarchies in place, and what the distinction of using these terms descriptively rather than prescriptively means, as well as situations where hierarchies might appear by surprise or "sneakily." Some of the conversation turns a little 'blue,' and is frank about sex and STIs, maybe don't listen to this one with the kids under teen age, so I'm marking the episode accordingly. Dr. Liz is a sex educator, therapist, speaker, and popular podcast guest who works with singles, couples, and polycules across the sexual spectra to improve their lives - including the sexual portions of them. They work with anyone who wants to cultivate healthy, consent-driven, and autonomy-focused relationships, although non-monogamists, non-binary folx, kinksters, and queerdos are a special focus.

This January they're leading an initiative to go into the New Year treating ourselves well with self-love for our present beings, instead of beating our bodies up with diet and exercise resolutions for a future self. You can find more information on that here (https://drlizpowell.com/product/2582/).

Are you interested in non-monogamous relationships? Are you curious about the best ways to navigate your first steps into the sexy world of consensual non-monogamy (also known as ethical non-monogamy)? Join me today with Dr. Liz Powell, licensed psychologist specializing in non-traditional relationships, and author of the book Building Open Relationships. We’re going to explore different kinds of non-monogamous relationships and what each of those look like; how to develop and maintain healthy and ethical non-monogamy with your partner or partners, and the best communication tips to keep prevent and resolve potential conflict. Dr. Liz Powell is also going to talk about how to be authentic with your partner(s) or your potential new partner(s) as you let them know your interest in non-monogamy, as well as how to best frame those conversations to evoke a more positive reaction from them, and what to do if your partner isn’t as interested in the concept of non-monogamy as you are.

Misconceptions about sex therapy: it’s not all about the sex. It’s about the relationship people have with their own bodies, with their partners, and to the stories of sexuality and pleasure. Many therapists only get two days of training on sexuality issues, if at all. What is the most common communication issue that you see? Expectations of mind-reading and letting things go unsaid rather than communicating your wants and needs openly and honestly.   Why Building Open Relationships? It’s less about theory and more nuts and bolts of how to make a relationship successful with full respect for individual autonomy and consent. For example, think about how your message will land or be perceived rather than just the way you want to say it.

Are you interested in non-monogamous relationships? Are you curious about the best ways to navigate your first steps into the sexy world of consensual non-monogamy (also known as ethical non-monogamy)? Join me today with Dr. Liz Powell, licensed psychologist specializing in non-traditional relationships, and author of the book Building Open Relationships. We’re going to explore different kinds of non-monogamous relationships and what each of those look like; how to develop and maintain healthy and ethical non-monogamy with your partner or partners, and the best communication tips to keep prevent and resolve potential conflict. Dr. Liz Powell is also going to talk about how to be authentic with your partner(s) or your potential new partner(s) as you let them know your interest in non-monogamy, as well as how to best frame those conversations to evoke a more positive reaction from them, and what to do if your partner isn’t as interested in the concept of non-monogamy as you are.
