Relational Trauma, Poly Drama & the Art of Being a Side-Piece

from Cracked Up · host Angelica Hester and Randi Corrigan

Randi and Angelica are once again blessed with the wisdom (and patience) of Melissa Fulgieri, aka therapist to the millennials. This week we’re going beyond the usual ‘reparent yourself’ pep talk and diving into what relational trauma actually is—and all the messy ways it shows up. Melissa also walks Angelica through her cirque-du-so-extra–level anxiety about ethical nonmonogamy, and answers the big question: how is ENM not just a rebrand of having a side-piece?Buy Melissa's book HERE
