Session 182: Consensual Non-Monogamy

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.Today we’re digging into the topic of consensual non-monogamy. While monogamous relationships may be the relationship types we hear about most often, they’re not the only relationships types that exist. To break it all down for us, I was joined by Ruby B. Johnson, LCSW, LCDC. Ruby and I discussed some of the most common misconceptions about consensual non-monogamy, how to determine whether a polyamorous relationship is a good fit for you, some considerations in a polyamorous relationship, how to unpack some of the stigma related to consensual non-monogamy, and of course she shares some of her favorite resources.Resources MentionedVisit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast!Multiamory podcastPoly Weekly podcastNormalizing Nonmonogamy podcastMonogamish podcastWanderlustPoly Love DocumentarySupport Our SponsorsGet the Gen 4 Theragun at theragun.com/tbgGet 20% off a copy of The Little Book of Big Lies at harpercollins.com by using the code THERAPYFORBLACKGIRLS at checkout.
