Therapists are blaming polyamory for patients' problems. These researchers want to change that. - eviltoast

    Not all therapists are sadly.

    I ran a training for therapists on alternate relationship structures, most had never heard of polyamory, most felt it meant something had gone wrong for people to be in that situation.

    Personally, I think all the things which can make polyamorus relationships difficult also exist in monogamous relationships.

      That’s a bummer, I guess we’re lucky in that regard. I completely agree that the same difficulties exist in both.
