Is Compersion Easier For Some More Than Others? Exploring How Social Positionality Influences Compersion with Dr. Marie Thouin

In this episode, I welcome back Dr. Marie Thouin, a leading expert on compersion, to discuss her most recent research and findings. We delve into the complexities of compersion and its intersection with social positionality, examining how factors like age, race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and geographical location influence the experience of compersion in consensually non-monogamous relationships. 

Dr. Thouin shares insights from her new book, detailing the socio-psychological aspects of compersion, its broader applications beyond CNM, and the importance of supportive communities. The episode also highlights future research directions and practical advice for those navigating non-monogamous relationships.
