LIVE CHAT: On Burnout, Subtle Coercion, and Financial Power in Polycules (Patreon)

Here's the video and transcript from yesterday's Live Chat! The next one will be some time mid winter, I hope to see you there again. 

And just a reminder that switching to Patreon Video took away the option of chapter markers (for now), but I'll include the timecode here of the various questions, so hopefully you can still jump to areas of interest.

Timecode:

• 00.00 Coping with angst in new connections
• 05.15 How to deal with burnout in polysaturation?
• 11.43 When are partners' conflicts not our business?
• 15.55 How to push back when the polycule assumes you're fine, that you don't have needs, or are tough so "can handle it"?
• 19.50 Growing pains in long term polyamory, dating again after a while of the status quo
• 24.25 When financially interdependent with a partner, how do we not let that negatively impact others? Considering money, power and class in extended polycules. Valuing unpaid labor, confronting entitlement or internalized classism / shame
• 36.45 Expanding on cults and abuse networks. Rebuilding new community after the trauma of a high control group
• 48.25 Is threatening a breakup a boundary or ultimatum? And if it's about another person, is that a covert veto or attempted coercion? 
• 56.05 Outro
