There is a Shadow Side to Monogamy! For all its good— sense of security, continuity, deep knowing of your partner— there’s a mythos and fairytale ideal that society encourages us to follow, one which can leave us feeling broken in our relationships like a record stuck on repeat. We keep trying the same things over and over and get the same unfulfilling results.This fantasy of ‘perfect partnership’ foisted upon us has deep roots. But how relevant is it today, when we know that partnerships are not necessarily life-long, or exclusive? When we experience cheating, a breakup, or the opening of a relationship, a struggle starts between our hearts and minds.That struggle can result in feelings of shame, an experience of being emotionally frozen. You may feel like you can’t respond to things you know you should. It might interrupt your flow of communication, or keep you from feeling like you can freely express yourself. You might even find that you are unconsciously self-sabotaging yourself.This struggle is the “Monogamy Hangover”.Side note: Keep in mind this is anti-mythology, not anti-monogamy, so people wanting to do conscious monogamy can benefit from this work, not just poly/open people.Discover how to break free from this struggle through:– How to navigate relationships outside of co-dependent-style norms– Prescriptive vs descriptive relationships: what are the unspoken assumptions and expectations we have when we get into a relationship?– Exploring our stories about relationships and how they hold us back– Identifying what we really want and the difference between a desire at the surface, and the deep longing at our core.– Knowing our boundaries– and so much more!MELINA CASSIDY | RADICAL RELATIONSHIP COACHINGWith two decades of experience teaching and facilitating in groups small and large, Mel has a reputation for innovation, novelty, and being able to guide others to think— and live— outside the box.The grandchild of refugees, Mel has lived on three continents.

Our results-fixated culture can lead to an achievement-oriented sexual identity, experience and mind-set where the focus is on our fruits.

His experiences of witnessing the spontaneous release of the body’s chronic guarding patterns from embodied presence and intentional touch followed by its expansion of life force energies encouraged his studies in the Taoist and Tantric traditions of intentionally circulating sexual energy for healing and consciousness. He has since combined his Master’s in Spiritual Psychology, with his certifications in TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), NeuroAffective Touch and Sexological Bodywork in offering Somatic Sexual Wholeness a mind/body/spirit integrated approach to sexual health and well-being. SSW is sequenced intentionally to first address the early attachment relational deficits affecting the nervous system and its chronic guarding patterns, before restoring an empowered voice/choice often missing in our adolescence within the client, after which any genital armouring/trauma/conditioned patterns are resolved for an expansion in sexual freedom, pleasure, and wholeness.Thank you for listening to Sex Is Medicine!
