Body Image and ENM Relationships Ep.5

Today we're talking to Katy Alaniz, a poly friendly therapist whose focus is really on helping clients rediscover confidence, sexuality, healing from trauma, and a lot of focus on body image, eating disorder recovery, and also how all of that intersects with relationships. Katy is a cis pansexual demisexual polyamorous woman who is super passionate about treating eating disorders and body image issues. She has a badass 10 year old, a couple of cats, she loves fresh hydrangeas, and good coffee. We have the best conversation with her about her life experiences as a solo polyamorous woman, the lessons that she has learned, and the tools she shares with her clients. 💨 TLDR;2:21- Solo Polyamory6:57- Fear of Non-monogamy11:15- Transition to Polyamory15:43- Parenting and Polyamory20:44- Polyamory as a Choice24:07- Therapy Work28:15- Body Image42:56- Preventative Therapy❤️ Enjoying the show?
