Ariana Throne is a therapist who works closely with clients navigating polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and the broader challenges of modern dating and intimacy. She joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to bring a clinical, experience-based lens to conversations that usually stay private.
The discussion moves through jealousy, communication, and the difference between polyamory and infidelity, before turning to harder questions about why men avoid therapy, what's driving rising rates of sexual dysfunction, and how couples can rebuild intimacy when life gets in the way.
