Moving Toward Non-Monogamous Neutrality and Acceptance Instead of Forced Compersion
Chapter 5 - Composting Competition and Moving Toward Compersion: A Non-Monogamy Book Club Video Series
Exploring the jealousy-compersion spectrum in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.
In this book club video series, non-monogamous relationship coaches and metamours Aria Diana and Salina Mae explore chapter 5, “Spectrum of Compersion” of Marie Thouin's book, "What is Compersion?"
We discuss:
Salina’s need for predictability & consistency with non-monogamy to build secure attachment
-“fire growth” and choosing a life where we’re often on edges of change
-why the nervous system needs time to digest new consensual non-monogamous experiences to stay within the window of tolerance
-the importance of building a relationship with yourself first and foremost
-how resistance to our jealousy often makes those challenging emotions persist
-anticipating the times when we might feel triggered, and how we might plan to care for ourselves in those instances
-relationship co-design, moving away from the relationship escalator expectations & building new connections without assumptions
-whether empathy for negative experiences should be labeled as compersion or not
