Polyamory and the Myth of Infinite Capacity

Polyamory is often portrayed as having the ability to love endlessly, but in reality, emotional energy, attention, and time are finite. Many people feel pressured to give more than they can, fearing that expressing limits might signal failure.

Understanding Capacity

Acknowledging your limits isn’t weakness—it’s an act of honesty and care. Recognizing capacity allows for clear communication, reduces resentment, and fosters sustainable connections. Therapy can help partners articulate their boundaries and understand where energy and attention are being stretched.

Therapy and Capacity Management

Through couples therapy North Sydney, partners can explore how to navigate multiple relationships without burning out. On the North Shore, therapy provides strategies for managing energy, honoring limits, and supporting each partner’s needs in a way that strengthens connection rather than weakens it.

Why It Matters

By accepting that capacity is limited, polyamorous relationships become more resilient. Love and intimacy are sustained when partners communicate honestly about what they can offer and what they need in return. Therapy ensures this process is held safely and compassionately.

At The Embodied Mind in North Sydney, therapy supports individuals and couples in building sustainable, connected, and honest relationships.
