Decoupling in Polyamory: A Webcast Recording

  • Google Calendar ICS

De-coupling is the transition from a partnership - usually romantic/intimate - to another dynamic. In polyamorous relationships, break-ups often include a period of transition; from lovers to friends, from metamours to acquittances, or even to strangers.


PURCHASE WEBCAST HERE

In this live event - three polyamorous sexuality and relationship educators joined a global conversation about how to navigate de-coupling in healthy, productive and supported ways. Facilitated by Claire Louise Travers on behalf of Poly Pages - an academic non-monogamous platform - this event was a facilitated discussion around the causes of polyamorous breakups, the unique challenges de-coupling presents for polyam folx, and some skills and scripts for individuals and communities to make decoupling easier/less harmful.


About the panelists:



  • Andy Adams - "Non-monogamous mother, lover and educator/owner of The Growth Arc (a education and community support space for navigating relationships)"

  • Evita Sawyers - "Non-monogamy coach, speaker, and educator. Creator of “Today’s Polyamory Reminder”, she is also the subject of the groundbreaking polyamorous documentary “Poly-Love”." Her approach is both frank yet empathetic and she is appreciated for her vulnerable openness about her own challenges in non-monogamy and helping others to grow.

  • Sydney Rae Chin - "Polyamorous 3rd gen Chinese American woman, Intuitive Sex Guide runs @sydneyraechin empowering Pan Asian women and non men survivors to reclaim their sensuality"⁣
