from This Trusted Place with John-Paul Davies: Mental Health, Therapy & Becoming a Therapist · host John-Paul Davies
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when someone discloses that they’re bisexual within a relationship? For some couples it’s straightforward, but for others it can bring up shock, fear, confusion, or insecurity for both partners.In this video I share some reflections on why disclosure can feel destabilising at first, how both people’s reactions are understandable, and how couples can move toward integration over time. I also talk about common myths around bisexuality, including fears about infidelity or commitment and why honesty, while sometimes painful, can ultimately deepen connection.If you or your partner are navigating this situation, I hope this offers some reassurance and perspective.I’ll also be exploring this topic further in an upcoming interview with Dr Joshua Gebhardt, a therapist who works with mixed-orientation couples.My bisexuality playlist for all the full videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbzuc1SEOTxi2ytIA_kG2JG_7Evikg8E0✅ If you're thinking about exploring therapy generally, I’d love to hear from you and you’re very welcome to get in touch with me via my website (https://www.thistrustedplace.co.uk) to find out more or to arrange an initial conversation.🎯 1:1 Mentoring & ConsultancyThinking about changing career to become a therapist?
