Episode description

This week we're dressing up for Halloween! Instead of our regular weekly interview we're bringing you episode 377 of the Multiamory Podcast "Polyam Beginners, Healthy Boundaries, and Ethical Hierarchy!"

We don't normally give advice on our show but when you have a chance to tap into the brilliance of Dedeker, Emily, and Jase... You take it!

This is a listener Q+A episode where they discuss:

• What was the biggest challenge in your polyam journey, and how did you overcome it?

• What are some good steps to reconnect after initiating a break in the relationship?

• Any advice for someone looking to explore other polyam sites away from the safe harbor that the Multiamory Discord has become?

• How can one be a good beginner? What are some red flags or warning signs you see many fledgling polyam folk brush past or ignore?

• When de-escalating or transitioning relationships to one with less closeness and frequency, do you have any tips for adjusting your expectations or managing hurt feelings?

• How to set healthy and ethical boundaries within the context of a highly entangled, mutually desired lifelong commitment. Specifically, boundaries that don’t look like “veto power” or interference in other relationships, but also don’t just come down to “walking away” in the presence of incompatible strong preferences (not needs).

• How do you know the difference between genuine third party trauma or if emotions are being used to force a certain result? How do you spot this before becoming invested?
