Mental health in polyamory

Finding a good therapist or counselor who has experience with polyamory or non-monogamy can be difficult. Often, those of us who seek therapy for mental illness end up doing the teaching about non-monogamy, and that defeats the purpose of going to a professional.

Ruby Bouie Johnson has been a guest on Multiamory before, but this week she’s here to talk specifically about mental health. As a therapist who is openly experienced with both polyamory and kink, Ruby is able to relate to members of the polyamorous community and offer guidance that takes ethical non-monogamy into consideration.

We asked our members of Patreon to come up with some questions relating to mental health and polyamory that they’ve struggled with, and in this episode, Ruby gives her insight as a professional therapist not only well-versed in polyamory, but as a member of the polyamory community as well.

Give this week’s episode a listen to learn more about Ruby’s take on mental illness within the poly community and her expertise concerning our patrons’ questions.
