Confirmation Bias is Blocking Your ENM Growth
Embed Video
Think you already know how your relationship will turn out? That might be confirmation bias talking. Here’s how to break free.
In ethical non-monogamy (ENM), past experiences — especially from monogamous relationships — can create a mental filter that makes you see what you expect to see… not what's really happening. That’s called confirmation bias, and it’s keeping you stuck.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- What confirmation bias is (and how it shows up in ENM)
- How trauma from cheating or abandonment can cloud new experiences
- How your mind uses bias to protect — but also limit — you
- Red flags that you’re operating from bias, not truth
- Tools to interrupt this pattern and build trust, presence, and freedom in your ENM relationships
