D is for Dismantling Default Scripts
Welcome to Polyamirite Episode 015: Dismantling Default Scripts
What if the way we’ve been taught to do love… was never designed for us to thrive?
In this episode of The ABCs of Polyamirite, we travel through the tender and transformative process of dismantling the default relationship scripts we’ve inherited — and writing new ones rooted in autonomy, intention, and truth. Whether you’re exploring polyamory, reclaiming your agency, or just feeling the quiet ache that something about “the way it’s always been” isn’t working anymore, this episode offers a reflective and practical path forward.
We will explore:
Default Scripts and naming the unconscious scripts that shape how we do love, and ask: who really wrote these rules — and do they still serve us?
The emotional, cultural, and nervous-system-level reasons why these scripts feel so sticky — and how to begin loosening their grip.
How to hold space for the grief, confusion, and resentment that come from trying to make old frameworks fit, and honor the pain that often precedes transformation.
Rewriting Your Relationship Story as we step into authorship through values clarification, needs-awareness, and intentional design, so we can begin crafting relationships that feel aligned and chosen.
Living the rewrite so we can anchor the work in real-life practice — with tools for resilience, integration, and coming back to truth in the midst of mess, fear, or change.
If you’re ready to unlearn what no longer serves you — and start building relationships that feel like home — this episode is your invitation.
