Beyond Monogamy: Exploring Polyamory and Open Relationships

  Sexology Podcast EP03 – Tamara Powell   Welcome to episode 03 of the Sexology Podcast, today my guest is Tamara Powell, LMHC. Tamara is the owner of Arya Therapy Services, the now global phenomenon in holistic health and healing. More recently, she founded Tales from a Trapezoid dedicated to the more raw and edgier side of life, working with those who may often feel like a trapezoid in a world full of circles.   Tamara tends not to believe in limitations or pathology, only what she calls the “nearsightedness of that comes from either not knowing better OR creative, yet maladaptive attempts to get one’s needs met.” Her goal is to assist individuals and couples in tackling all of life’s challenges, whether mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.     In this episode, you will hear:   Tamara’s experience working with sexually diverse clients The definition of a polyamorous relationship Who chooses polyamory and why The misconceptions behind polyamorous relationships How people transition from monogamist relationships Working against the taboo and how people are concerned to ask questions The religious and cultural connections to polyamory The difference between polyamory, polygamy and swinging Raising children in polyamorous relationships How children can benefit because they have more resources The strengths of polyamory How to deal with jealousy   Resources Tamara's websites:   https://aryatherapy.com https://aryatherapy.com/about-the-podcast (Undressing The Spirit Podcast) https://talesfromatrapezoid.com Love in Abundance : A Counselor's Advice on Open Relationships (Book) - https://www.amazon.com/Love-Abundance-Counselors-Relationships-Paperback/dp/B01FYKSULG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485030260&sr=8-1&keywords=love+in+abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
