Your Relationship Does Not Need a Label
Manage episode 427166671 series 3584427
04. Ever want to ditch the label on your relationship? No matter what your orientation or relationship style looks like right now, you do NOT need to cave to the pressure of labeling it.
In today's episode, let's talk about what it means to give ourselves the space to explore, to go deep when we want to learn more about ourselves, to create space in our relationships when we need it, and to ask for what we truly want without fear.
When we can get honest with ourselves and those we're in relationships with, we can often experience a wide range of human emotions that include excitement, fear, doubt, questioning, passion, purpose, and love -- without judgment.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Growing up in a religious cult where relationships only look one way
- Navigating different orientations and gender expressions
- Labeling orientations and seeking to find one that "fits"
- The radical "6-months-of-no-sex" experiment
- Mixed-orientation marriages - when they work, when they don't
- What to do when you're trying to figure out what to do next in a relationship
