Therapist Reacts to Reddit EP. 5 | "NO ONE CAN HURT YOU?!" Non-Monogamy or 🚩🚩🚩

In this episode of Therapist Reacts to Reddit, I explore three real stories from people navigating non-monogamy, questioning their relationships, and trying to make sense of what actually feels right for them. From power imbalances in open relationships, to intrusive thoughts about wanting more, to beliefs about freedom, insecurity, and what relationships “should” look like, these situations highlight how complex and personal non-monogamy really is. Drawing on both my experience as a mental health nurse and therapist, and my own perspective, I break down what sounds healthy, what raises red flags, and where emotional needs, communication, and compatibility come into play. Whether you are curious about non-monogamy, currently in an open relationship, or just trying to understand your own thoughts and feelings around commitment, this video is for you. As a therapist, I explore: 💻 How to figure out whether the desire to open up your marriage is healthy or not, and how to decide. 💻 How to navigate imbalance in an open relationship with regards to opportunity. 💻 How to best handle jealousy. 💻 How to decipher if someone is non-monogamous or emotionally avoidant 💻 Healthy and unhealthy opinions in monogamy and non-monogamy I’d be really interested to hear your take: 🗨️ What advice would you give to these redditors?
