Consenting Adults
Reimagining Commitment for People and Relationships That Defy Convention
A practical, real-life field guide to building better, fulfilling, and true-to-you relationships beyond monogamy, compulsory heterosexuality, and vanilla sex
Unlike conventional relationship self-help that measures “success” by longevity and outdated assumptions, this book helps us embody radical honesty with ourselves (and our partners) to build the kinds of relationships that feel authentic to us.
Dr. Beth Gadomski invites readers to develop relational integrity: the internal compass that reminds us to act from our authentic values as we build the relationships we want. Partnerships built on relational integrity acknowledge a fundamental truth: each of us is evolving, all the time. And for our relationships to be fulfilling, sustainable, and aligned with our truest selves, they need to evolve with us.
Through interwoven narratives, Gadomski shows us the real-life consequences of disrupted relational integrity; explores the process of “identity molting”; and teaches us how to cultivate resilient, conscious connections. This book is particularly useful to readers in unconventional relationships: poly, platonic, CNM, kinky, child-free, long distance, or fluid-identity partnerships, as well as any conscious couple guided by intentional, values-aligned choices in their relationships.
About
Beth Gadomski, Psy.D., is a psychologist, author, and speaker whose work explores how we can create relationships that reflect who we actually are—not simply the expectations we inherit. Drawing on more than two decades of clinical experience, she helps people and relationships cultivate relational integrity through consent, accountability, self-awareness, authenticity, and ongoing choice. Her work explores identity, attachment, trauma, sexuality, and relationships beyond conventional expectations. Beth has held clinical positions at Stanford University and UC Berkeley and is the author of the forthcoming book Consenting Adults.
