Heather Butterfield, AMFT has both personal and professional experience in the world of polyamory. She says there’s a reason we’re hearing about it more often these days: People have only just started feeling safe enough to be open about it, and the Internet has fostered more representation, community, and connection.
She’s seen how polyamorous relationships, especially ones willing to participate in therapy, can enrich lives. “Good communication is foundational for any relationship, but the more partners are involved the more important it becomes.” Butterfield says.
The Gay Therapy Center team interviewed Heather to learn the polyamory basics, debunk some myths, learn why therapy is such a valuable tool, and share tips for those wanting to dip their toes into the poly pool.
