In this episode of Imperfectly Poly, we tackle the sometimes intimidating but ultimately rewarding topic of therapy. We dive into how therapy can help unpack emotional baggage, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and gain fresh perspectives - not just for polyamorous folks, but for everyone.

We specifically explore how therapy can benefit those navigating the unique challenges of polyamory, such as jealousy, communication breakdowns, and societal stigma. Chris shares personal experiences of how therapy has helped him manage his own anxieties and build stronger connections with his partners.

We challenge the stigma surrounding therapy and emphasize that seeking help is a sign of strength. We conclude by encouraging listeners to consider therapy as a valuable resource for personal growth and building healthier relationships, regardless of relationship style.
