Today I gratefully hosted my past client and now friend, Dave, to discuss all things emotional-management as he approaches a lifestyle in open relationships over the last couple years. I do not have any experience in this topic, though I know many friends who do, and so hear similar challenges that seem to come up. I thought it would be helpful to talk about his experience, as he - in my opinion - really aims to show up from a place of higher intention, both for the benefit of his own process and to the benefit of the connection ultimately! At the base of ANY healthy relationship, we want to be grounded enough to be aware of how we feel and why, and then courageous enough to be able to articulate that to partners for discussion and co-resolution. Emotional Intelligence 101. Lots of gold in this one, no matter if being open is your thing or not. Enjoy!
