Harder & Easier Ways to Open a Relationship

from Permission To Desire: Relationships, Sex, Love, and Liberation · host Brian G. Murphy

If you're thinking about opening up your relationship—or have opened it partway already—you may think that if you just go slow enough, everything will work out. While it's important to go at a slow and steady pace, there are 3 major pitfalls I see when partners are starting to open their relationship. In this episode, Brian shares what those are so you can avoid unnecessary stress, conflict, fear, or resentment as well as changes you can make to the process to make opening up (or deciding not to open up) smoother.Opening up can bring you closer together if you do it well. This episode will help you do just that.Resources mentioned in this episode:Commitment Clarity Checklist - thisisbbm.com/clarityWeekly Sync Session workbook and training - thisisbgm.com/syncPrivate support to make opening up feel smooth, safe, and secure: thisisbgm.com/applyEnrollment for Relationshift is sold out and now closed.
