QUOTES

• “These ways in which we unpack and critically examine the messages are so helpful for EVERYONE and not just polyamorous people. I think examining this can lead monogamous people to have more healthy, well-rounded, balanced relationships as well.” 
• “Some of the fear about getting into a relationship have to do with those myths that feel really limiting.”
• “Shoulds are telling you what's real for you and right for you is wrong according to those messages and maps and things that we are told.”
• “This idea that commitment and exclusivity are the same thing, I think is another myth that can get really harmful.”
