Paradigm Shifts and Choosing Relationships
Paradigm shifts can be profound transitions in our worldview and how we approach relationships. Moving from monogamy to non-monogamy, for example, involves a shift in beliefs, values, and expectations. This shift can be challenging and may cause paradigm shock, where individuals feel disoriented or uncertain. It is crucial to be aware of the personal choice involved in these shifts and to honor individual agency in navigating different relationship styles. Whether it is an orientation or a conscious lifestyle choice, what matters most is being grounded in one's own experience and making decisions that align with personal needs and desires.
