“While I do think it’s important to recognize that blaming other people for causing your emotions is reductive, disempowering and, at worst, manipulative, the idea that a person has no responsibility for the emotional pain they cause can be used just as harmfully.”
Lola Phoenix, The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy: Your Guide to Open Relationships, Polyamory and Letting Go

“But you have the capacity to define what fulfilment means to you and you alone and there’s no time like the present to decide.”
Lola Phoenix, The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy: Your Guide to Open Relationships, Polyamory and Letting Go

“When you understand that you can experience strong emotions without having a dysregulated nervous system, it changes your relationship to big emotions and makes them far less terrifying to face.”
Lola Phoenix, The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy: Your Guide to Open Relationships, Polyamory and Letting Go

“One of the most common things that people who abuse or hurt others have – whether their behaviour stems from past trauma, brain structure, inadequate socialization or anything else – is the assumption of entitlement.”
Lola Phoenix, The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy: Your Guide to Open Relationships, Polyamory and Letting Go

“Another thing that Bancroft’s book highlighted to me was that abusive relationships are rarely all bad and that people who abuse can often be great people when they aren’t abusing their partners. It’s not as simple as finding a complete monster among angels.”
Lola Phoenix, The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy: Your Guide to Open Relationships, Polyamory and Letting Go
