Polyamory
Let me start by saying I'm doing the best I can to describe things. If my language is inaccurate kindly help me understand better.
I've been aware of my poly-ness for about a month and I still have a kind of "tweak" (for lack of a better word) in my body when I talk about it. I still feel vulnerable. My therapist said it in session yesterday and I winced. It's like I'm waiting for a punishment(?) for being poly. Logically I know one isn't coming, but my insides apparently don't. There's a physical reaction in me.
I want to feel pride and strength in who and what I am as a poly person, so I am seeking answers. Has anyone else experienced this feeling? How did you get through it? Has it diminished or disappeared? What helped or didn't help?
