Hey Swingsetters, Cooper here – Today we're running an episode of our new Swingset.FM podcast On The Wet Coast, where I discuss depression and other mental illness with Kat Stark and Serious Flick. If you like what you hear, head over to OnTheWetCoast.com to subscribe.
On this episode we'll be discussing mental illness in non-monogamy with special guest Cooper S Beckett from Life On The Swingset podcast and coopersbeckett.com
Those of us in non-monogamous circles spend a unique amount of time relating with others in a very intimate manner. When we let go of the standard social narrative of one partner only and admit our desire for intimacy with multiple others, we often let go of many of the other social façades in place and talk more honestly and intimately about other issues in our lives. Issues such as mental illness.
Before we start, we'd like to say that none of us are mental health professionals or experts and are merely discussing our personal experiences and observations on the subject. If you are in crisis and need help, please seek resources in your local area.
