Some kinds of jealousy can just feel totally overwhelming. They may even make you feel rage. Justice jealousy is definitely one of them. Justice jealousy—a term that was coined by Jessica Fern (one of our favorite authors and recurring PWF guest)—can happen when your partner wasn't able to provide something for you in the past, and then you witness them providing that same thing to one of their other partners. Ouch! The feelings that come up in these situations can be strong. So we're here to give you strong frameworks, ideas, and tools that can help you understand, unpack, and work towards finding a resolution. (Spoiler alert, resolution might not look like what you had in mind when justice jealousy is in the picture!) In this episode, we talk about: — Why it's important to know the difference between jealousy and envy — What underlying issues can fuel strong feelings of justice jealousy — Why it may be more helpful to focus on empathy and understanding instead of strict ideas of fairness — The complexities of relationship repair in situations of justice jealousy — Communication, forgiveness, healing, and the tools that can help you work through justice jealousy and its related issues Resources mentioned in this episode: Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Non-Monogamy by Jessica Fern Imago Dialogue: Episode 129 of Playing With Fire Are you ready to open your relationship happily?

We're back with Jessica Fern and David Cooley, co-authors of the incredible book Polywise, and this time they're answering your questions. We cover so much in this episode, but it's all through the lens of a restorative relational framework, which is an incredibly powerful way to transform how you move through conflict in your relationships. Their responses include both practical exercises that you can implement in your life today, and important, big-picture discussions about polyamory, attachment, jealousy, reassurance, parenting, and so much more. Here are the questions that Jessica and David answer in this episode: What would you recommend for a hinge partner working to unpack codependence in non-monogamy? How do I manage this feeling? - When my partner is getting closer to someone else, in my head, that means that they're moving further away from me. How can I rebuild or repair metamour relationships when resentment and misunderstandings have started to pile up? What do you do when you're parenting with someone that you're disentangling from? How do I meet attachment needs within long distance partnerships?

Individuation, enmeshment, symbiosis, co-dependence, individualism, interdependence… how on Earth can we navigate through all these paradigms and bring balance to our relationships?? Luckily, in this episode, we're joined by Jessica Fern and David Cooley, two all-star authors and practitioners in the non-monogamy space. We get into the nuances of individuation, and how to work towards differentiation in a way that is intentional instead of reactive. We talk about the monomind (that sneaky thing is always causing trouble!!) and how it can be a barrier to individuation and healthy conflict resolution in non-monogamous relationships.

Y'all are smart- and she's done a lot of interviews already (google is your friend), so I wanted to go deeper and find out how Jessica weaves other theories into her work and how she helps people move out of relational trauma loops and into the life they desire.

Jessica Fern's first book, PolySecure, rocked my world and started me down my path of Self-Love. Her 2nd book, Polywise, authored with David Cooley is just as revolutionary - right in the sweet spot of polyamory and personal growth. I appreciate both Jessica and David's candid honesty regarding their own personal life paths and how they have gained the knowledge they included in the book. What a conversation!

In this episode, psychotherapist and author of Polysecure Jessica Fern and I discuss the various dimensions of Consensual non-monogamy. Jessica shares whether polyamory is a privilege or whether everyone can do it, the connection between polyamory and trauma, and how to enter open relationships without hurting our partners. Finally, Jessica shares a six-step process of creating secure attachment styles with multiple patterns. About Me I'm George Lizos, spiritual teacher, psychic healer, and #1 bestselling author. Growing up in a small Christian community, I was judged and rejected for being gay and different. After a futile two-year attempt to change who I was born to be, I called myself a human abomination and almost took my own life. Fortunately, in my darkest moment, I saw the light and ventured on a healing journey of love, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening. Yet, my gay dating life since hasn't always been all roses and rainbows, and my past dramas and traumas have definitely kept things spicy. Fast forward past many awkward dates and disappointing sex, I Created Can't Host to challenge toxic gay stereotypes, explore the complex dynamics of gay sex and relationships, and create opportunities for healing and growth. https://georgelizos.com/ About Jessica Fern Jessica Fern is a Psychotherapist, Coach, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

She walks us through the difference between structural and emotional security, how polyamorous families can be incredibly supportive for the development of children, the challenges of navigating relational insecurity, and the liberating gift of compersion – the ability to find joy in watching someone you love receive pleasure from someone other than you.

Jess is a trauma centered relationship coach and plant medicine guide. Zach is a breath work facilitator and men's intimacy coach. Together they have the Sacred Ships podcast, where I had the pleasure to be a guest last year. Jess and Zach are both the kind of people who are willing to put the hard work to improve themselves and their relationship. Today we chat about their evolution from monogamous to open, including an engagement and a break up in between. We talk about their sexual trauma and about how they learned to heal, partly through their relationship. Zach opens up about how this trauma led him to use porn in a way affected his sexual performance, and about all the self work that he had to do to get to a comfortable place with his sexuality. And having casual sex with other women and opening up their relationship was actually an important part of this process. Subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss out on new episodes!

Attachment theory was originally based on the assumption that everyone is or wants to be monogamous; however, many people are polyamorous or otherwise engaged in consensual nonmonogamy. So how does attachment work when you have more than one partner? Can you have secure attachments with several partners at the same time? Let's talk about it! I am joined once again by Jessica Fern, a Psychotherapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and author of the book Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma, and NonMonomgamy. She is also the author of the all-new Polysecure Workbook. Some of the topics we discuss include: Is monogamy really a prerequisite for developing secure attachment? Do you have to be securely attached in order to be happy? How can opening up a relationship change our attachment patterns, for better or for worse? Why it's important to be securely attached to yourself. How to build more secure attachments. What to do when you and your partner(s) have different attachment styles. How you can tell when you've reached the saturation point for attachment-based relationships in your own life.

#49 - More and more people are talking about attachment theory these days, but many of those conversations focus on how we can cultivate secure monogamous relationships. What if you're looking to create secure, happy attachments with more than one partner? Today's guest is Jessica Fern, a psychotherapist, public speaker, trauma and relationship expert, and the author of Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma, and Consensual Nonmonogamy. In her international private practice, Jessica works with individuals, couples, and people in multiple-partner relationships who no longer want to be limited by their reactive patterns, cultural conditioning, insecure attachment styles, and past traumas. In this episode, Jessica offers listeners some insight into her book, a practical guide that can help you move toward secure attachments in your multiple relationships. We also take a look at the different attachment styles, how they manifest in relationships, and what you can do to begin to deconstruct your monogamous conditioning, as well as some of the pros and cons of abundance, plus so much more. To learn more about embodying new possibilities in life and love, tune in today! To learn more about open relationships and the swinger lifestyle, visit https://openlove101.com
Trigger warning: sexual trauma Psychotherapist Sam Kendakur talks with Tammy about the intersections of sexual health and mental health. Listen in for nuanced conversations about the gray areas and messiness of consent; how to piece apart our own understandings of sexual pleasure, desire, and attraction; the impacts of stigma on sexual and gender identity and those who choose non-monogamous relationship styles. We learn about the unexpected impacts healthcare providers can have on the wellbeing of folks with marginalized sexual, gender, and racial identities, especially when there are stark differences between the provider and client's lived experiences.

He's invested in creating spaces that make healing accessible and relevant to people from different realms of experience, especially those that inhabit marginalizedspaces. The social structure and health care system have failed so many, and he tries to address and combat these shortcomings through a commitment to client-centered anti-oppression practices that honor that suffering is most often nested within inequitable and unjust systems and their consequences rather than individual lack. He specializes in working with the LGBTQIA community, BDSM and kink, race and ethnicity, trauma, and alternative relationship styles.

Today I am joined by therapist and coach Taune Lyons. We discuss ALL things attachment style and how she uses it in her practice. We cover reparenting, immersing ourselves in secure environments, and the five pillars of secure attachment. She shares recommended somatic practices to feel safe enough in the body in order to be more vulnerable in relationships. Basically it all comes back to SAFETY! We finish the convo talking about how she helps her clients define their own gender identity and sexuality. She shares so many resources that are linked below.

I've been on a journey of dismantling and reassembling my own understanding of what's most true for me when it comes to my sexuality. I have fallen wonderfully in love and I'm in a queer relationship right now. It has radically shifted my lived experience of how I get to be loved and how someone can be capable of loving me. The labels that feel supportive to me right now are androsexual and demisexual, and I explain how I'm using those terms for myself. I've felt a divide between who I truly am and how I was professionally presenting to the world for a while now. I was confusing the need to niche down with not showing up for LGBTQIA people. I became aware of the volume of what I didn't know, as well as the blind spots of my own privilege. Through the Queer Competency Course I did with Terra Anderson and conversation with other queer people in my community, I've realized that I've been intensely connecting gender to sexuality. It's been such a liberating experience to detach masculine energy from the body that may or may not hold it. Listen in to hear more about how I've been exploring my queerness and rewriting limiting narritives I've held about sexuality. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Reflecting on the ways that the patriarchy punishes men for feeling their emotions What learning about non-monogamy is teaching me about my own window of tolerance and how I value investing energy and relationships Confronting the resistances and discomforts I had in my body that I never realized, like internalized homophobia and transphobia Making sure I'm showing up in sustainable and actionable ways to further liberate LGBTQIA people How I came to the conclusion that I identify as androsexual and demisexual Resources Mentioned: Listen to my interview with Terra Anderson about the Magic of Queerness here!

"Imagine what it would be like to experience more clarity, connection, possibility, and skill in your everyday life and relationships. Imagine feeling at home with yourself and your relationships, living and acting from your most preferred values and intentions. Imagine getting triggered, but knowing how to respond instead of react. Imagine feeling at ease, and even empowered, by your painful past--no longer being overwhelmed or overpowered by painful stories, outdated beliefs, or critical voices that limit your life.” These are the words of this episode's guest, Jessica Fern. She is a psychotherapist, public speaker, and trauma and relationship expert. In her international private practice, Jessica works with individuals, couples and people in multiple-partner relationships who no longer want to be limited by their reactive patterns, cultural conditioning, insecure attachment styles, and past traumas, helping them to embody new possibilities in life and love.

Today on the show, we are talking all things polyamory. But hey, monogamous folks don't feel like this isn't also for you! Regardless of relationship orientation, we all have a lot to learn about communication, boundaries, and living authentically from the polyamory community and I have the perfect guest to guide us in this conversation. I share my interview with polyamory expert, relationship anarchist, and one of the main faces of PolyPages, Claire Travers. Claire and I talk about whether or not polyamory is right for you–or rather, why are you questioning monogamy? We also dive into a very important question: is polyamory queer?

Not only a wild spirit but a force for change in the world, Virginia Dick joins Arlia today to share her journey and the places it has taken her. Virginia is a successful business owner, tango dancer, and the founder of Roots and Wings Women, an outdoor group for women featuring monthly hikes, connection, and meditation. During the pandemic, Virginia has shifted to sharing her own outdoor adventures and reflections for others to enjoy. She hopes in-person hikes will resume in May 2021. Roots and Wings Women Virginia's blog Reflection Questions from Virginia: How do I want to walk thru this world? How do I want to form relationships/connections? How do I want to treat the people I am close to? Virginia's bio: I am a mother, entrepreneur, adventure seeker, community builder, and wild spirit. The opportunity to take care of others, make the world a richer better place for everyone, spread love and warmth, and continually explore and grow are what excite and fuel me. I want to share this spirit with others to support and encourage them to find their own trails, strengths, and experiences. As the daughter of a single widowed mother who did not have a college education, I have always been driven by a sense of independence and desire to always be able to provide for my family. For this reason, I pursued a PhD to allow me to provide and at the same time make a significant difference in the lives of others around me. The older I get and the more I explore my own path, the more I want to encourage and support other women to get outside of their comfort zone and realize just how strong, resilient, and amazing we each can be. I have reconnected with my innate connection to the natural world, responding to the draw of outdoors, rawness, and celebrating the interconnectedness of all of the natural world. Nature brings us the opportunity to suspend our assumptions, test ourselves in that safe space, and truly think creatively and expansively. As I sit under the old live oaks by the coast, my fig trees in my yard, or on the solid rocks of the Appalachian Mountains – I am reminded that it is older than us, carries with it the joys and sadness of generations before us, it is a part of us and therefore is a safe, accepting space to explore and grow. My greatest feeling and growth occurs in these natural environments where I am rooted in myself and the past but also given the wings to soar and explore.
