About Our Polyamory Therapy in Texas
WHAT IS A POLY RELATIONSHIP?
A polyamorous relationship is typically defined as an open style relationship, where all partners involved consensually agree to multiple romantic and/or sexual relationships with other partners. The main difference between polyamory and open relationships is that polyamory can consist of loving multiple people and having intimate, loving relationships with more than one partner.
WHAT IS POLYAMORY THERAPY?
Respark’s Polyamory therapy is an inviting, safe space to discuss your relationship diversity. Whether you’re looking for continued support from someone who understands and celebrates your poly relationships, or if you’re curious but hesitant to explore this new lifestyle, Respark is here to start healthy and productive conversations about polyamory and setting your poly journey up for success.
One common reason people engage in polyamory is for their understanding that one partner alone does not meet all of their needs. Ester Perel discusses that those in monogamous relationships typically see and expect their partner to fulfill all of their needs and roles: best friend, caregiver, vacation partner, parent, etc. Whereas in polyamory, people understand that one person cannot simply meet all of their needs, so they are able to find partners who fill other roles. People also engage in polyamory as they feel like they naturally love more than one person, and want to be able to find and experience love as they come across it.
