S4E2 - Understanding Compersion

In this episode, Sarah and Jenna explore the concept of compersion, or "sympathetic joy," in relationships. They discuss its origins, definitions, and how it contrasts with jealousy.

Highlights:

• Origins of Compersion: Coined by the Kerista community in the 1990s, related to the Buddhist concept of muditā.
• Definition: Joy felt when seeing a partner happy in another relationship.
• Dimensions: Includes emotional joy, supportive attitudes, and positive experiences.
• Factors Influencing Compersion: Individual commitment to nonmonogamy, relational security, and supportive community.
• Compersion vs. Jealousy: They can coexist; open communication in nonmonogamous relationships fosters healthier discussions about jealousy.
• Healthy Approach: Mutual respect, open communication, and validation of all emotions.
