BEAR PHILLIPS | The Feminist Love Coach
Redefining Intimacy – Unlocking Deeper Connection
From emotional intimacy to polyamory, learn how honest communication and mutual healing of attachment wounds can build transformative connections.
CO-CREATING RELATIONSHIPS THAT HONOUR EVERY PART OF WHO YOU ARE
Coaching Relationships (inc. Polyamory & ethical non-monogamy)
I am sex-positive, kinky and queer, bringing my experience in authentic relating to alternative relationship styles; Polyamory, Ethical Non-Monogamy (also known as Consensual Non-Monogamy), and Relationship Anarchy.
I hold space with compassion for all the difficulties we experience in relationships, but especially when we are exploring uncharted territory, in a culture intolerant of and threatened by difference.
I believe extraordinary possibilities exist when we co-create our relationships. Connection, intimacy and unbounded joy is possible when we learn to communicate with integrity and open-hearted vulnerability. But that requires the healing of our most insecure parts, and the building of trust in, and with, each other.
Conflict can feel incredibly threatening in a relationship, but managing the process of rupture and repair can also be one of the sure-fire ways to build the intimacy we so desire.
Where tension and conflict can become a pathway to intimacy.
“I was able to quickly establish a deep trust and rapport with Bear that allowed me to explore so many sensitive issues.“
