On a recent trip from New Jersey to Vermont with Mormon Therapist Natasha Helfer Parker and Dr. Gina Colvin we decided to have a rough, unplanned, unrehearsed, and VERY\\xa0informal first discussion about post-Mormon polyamory and non-monogamy. \\xa0
For those who care deeply about this issue, there are a few very important things we would like to emphasize:
- This is a rough, free-form, first discussion about orthodox, transitioning, and post-Mormon non-monogamy and polyamory. \\xa0This is not meant to be a pre-planned, comprehensive, uber-professional treatment of the topic. \\xa0If you are looking for such a treatment, please do not listen.
- For those of you who are very knowledgable about and/or experienced with polyamory and non-monogamy,\\xa0we openly acknowledge that we likely (or most definitely)\\xa0employed\\xa0several incorrect or improper terms, stereotypes, and biases in this discussion. We do this partially on purpose - because it gives us/you a chance to explore and correct common mistakes or misperceptions used regarding these sensitive and important topics. \\xa0
- For those of you who are interested in this topic, or who were frustrated in any way by this first treatment/discussion -\\xa0we hope that you will give us your thoughts, perspective, and respectful criticisms in the blog comments. \\xa0Then, please know what we 100% plan to have at least a few future guests on Mormon Stories Podcast to explore this topic more in-depth, and in more serious ways. \\xa0If you have participated in polyamory and/or non-monogamy as an active, transitioning, or post-Mormon, we invite you to contact us about appearing in a future episode. \\xa0mormonstories@gmail.com
Thanks for your patience, understanding, support, participation, and good\\xa0will as we begin to explore this important topic that affects many people in orthodox, transitioning, and post-Mormonism.
