The intentional act of lowering one's personal shame around an issue through unconditional love, joining in, celebrating, shaking our fists at our repressive cultures, and normalizing protective mechanisms. Originated from the Somatica Method, created by Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman.
My client had so much shame around her kinks until we spent time de-shamifying, now she's having the time of her life embracing what turns her on!

A person with a very open heart which is able to love multiple people simultaneously. They may or may not be actively practicing non monogamy at any given moment but they still feel that this is who they are. This can be thought of similar to being polyamorous in both identity and orientation.
I've been polyhearted for as long as I can remember - even before I knew what polyamory was I knew I was capable of loving multiple people at the same time. It's just the way my heart is!
