Communication&Jealousy in Polyamory with Kate Loree - Ep 196 - a podcast by Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg | Pleasure Podcasts

Having difficult conversations with one partner is hard enough. When consensual non-monogamy is part of the equation it can feel overwhelming. In this episode, therapist Kate Loree gives insight and actionable strategies for working through uncomfortable emotions in polyamory/CNM like jealousy, envy, insecurity, and feeling disempowered. She also provides valuable tips on identifying & managing triggers with our partners and metamours. Some of what we touch on:

• Attachment injury
• Triggers
• Grounding techniques
• Getting into your “resilient zone”
• The EPIC communication model
