Does Non-Monogamy Make You Repeat Toxic Relationship Patterns? feat. Meg Wilson

Meg Wilson discusses polyamory and non-monogamy's impact on the nervous system and the risk of repeating relationship patterns. The podcast also explores the importance of connection in a hyper-individualistic society.

Shownotes

Our very first Australian-based guest joins us on the show!

Meg Wilson is the founder and lead therapist of Unison Counselling, a practice that focuses on issues relating to polyamory, non-monogamy, open relationships, and the LGBTQIA+ communities.

We chat to her about how being non-monogamous might impact your nervous system and if maintaining multiple romantic or sexual relationships could increase your risk of repeating destructive relationship patterns. We also delve into increased hyper-individualism in western society and why it’s especially important to build connection in this context.

But first, Siobhan shares a ‘radical’ new thing she’s trying out.

A massive thanks to Meg for starting her day incredibly early to accomodate the 11-hour time difference between London and Melbourne so she could come on the show. 

Check out Siobhan’s latest article about non-monogamy and step-parenting.
