464: Is Polyamory a Trauma Response? What No One’s Saying About ‘Woke’ Relationships

And why women crave commitment (even if they think they don’t) ||

In today’s episode, Monica poses the question: What if what’s being marketed as “spiritual evolution” in relationships is actually nervous system dysregulation in disguise?

She’s talking about what’s really going on with polyamory, open relationships, and the fear of commitment—especially for women who are ultimately craving safety, devotion, and intimacy.

Inside the episode:

🔥 How polyamory can be a trauma response

🔥 Abandonment wounds, people-pleasing, and control in modern dating

🔥 The difference between freedom and emotional avoidance

🔥 How masculine commitment creates trust and softness

🔥 How nervous system dysregulation fuels relational chaos

🔥 The ways monogamy can be expansive and erotic
