Episode 304: What Is Compersion?
Manage episode 425565449 series 3316149
When you take pleasure in your partner’s pleasure or happiness, this is known as compersion. It’s a form of positive empathy that many people in non-monogamous relationships experience. However, some people seem to have an easier time feeling compersion than others. So can it be learned? And should compersion always be a goal in non-monogamy? Let’s talk about it!
My guest is Marie Thouin, PhD, a dating and relationship coach and author of the new book: What Is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships. Marie is the founder of Love InSight, a mindful dating and relationship coaching practice where she supports people of all backgrounds and relational orientations to create intentional and vibrant love lives.
Some of the topics we cover in this episode include:
- Why does compersion seem to come easier to some people?
- Does our ability to experience compersion change with age?
- Can you learn how to feel compersion if you’ve never felt it before?
- What are some different approaches to learning compersion?
You can check out Marie’s website to learn more about her work.
