Hi and welcome to Smart Sex, Smart Love. I'm Dr. Joe Kort. Our listeners have no doubt heard of non-monogamy and while there are many different forms of it, polyamory, the practice of having more than one romantic or sexual partner at the same time is definitely gaining the most visibility in popular culture. It was the fourth most frequented searched relationship term on Google in 2017 but even if we're aware that polyamory is a thing, plenty of us don't understand how it actually works. Today, my guest is Stephanie M. Sullivan and she's a marriage and family therapist at A Compass Within personal consulting in Rochester, Michigan. She earned her master's degree in child development and family studies with a specialization in marriage and family therapy from Purdue university Northwest. Stefanie is an LGBTQ affirmative, polyamory affirmative and kink friendly therapist who specializes in working with people navigating polyamorous relationships and other forms of consensual non-monoga
