Anxiety and/or Panic, Non-monogamy and Polyamory Family Systems

Anxiety and/or Panic, Non-monogamy and Polyamory

Many individuals have relationships which differ from societal expectations for relationships.  Ethical Non-Monogamy works for some individuals.  It can include polyamory in its different forms or Open relationships.

When experimenting with alternate relationships it's important to expand communication skills to create and maintain healthy non-traditional relationships.  Issues with jealousy, shame, authenticity may come up and can be explored with a skilled, non-judgmental therapist. 

Family Systems

Family Systems therapy is a type of counselling specific to helping interpersonal relationships within a family system. Family Systems counselling is facilitated by marriage and family therapists who work with the various family combinations, including siblings, couples, parent and child, or step families.

The principle of family systems counselling is to help each individual to first learn to understand his or her own emotions, and how to manage interpersonal relationships effectively, as that influences all future relationships. Once family members understand themselves and the emotional system within the family, it is easier to be flexible in relationships with family  members, marriages, community, school and other relationships.
