Why is my queer relationship mirroring hetero dynamics? with Kristen Crowe LPCC, BC-DMT (they/she)

In this episode we answer:

  • Why do I feel like I’m stuck in a toxic hetero relationship model I can’t break out of?

  • But to reel it back, what are the problems with hetero relationships?

  • I love my partner, but I can’t get them to see that I want more than just a role-play of a white picket fence and a house relationship. They’re so cottage core. How can I get them to break free?

  • My partner is older and they seem to want me to play a certain role and I just want more than that hetero model. But there’s no “model” if you’re queer, just stereotypes.

  • I broke up with my last partner because we fought so much. But now the same thing is happening with my new partner. Am I the problem?

Join us as we dive into the complexities of these relationship experiences and find ways to step out of the heteronormative dynamics and create the queer relationship you are longing for.
