Therapy for Navigating Polyamory/Non-Monogamy

Are you someone navigating polyamory or consensual non-monogamy (CNM)?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Challenges communicating needs, boundaries, or agreements within your relationship structure(s)
  • Jealousy, insecurity, or comparison arising within yourself or between partners
  • Difficulty managing time, energy, and emotional resources across multiple relationships
  • Stress related to societal stigma, lack of understanding, or discrimination against non-monogamous relationships
  • Conflict or negotiation difficulties regarding relationship agreements, safer sex practices, or introductions between partners
  • Uncertainty about how to navigate established relationship dynamics when opening up or adding new partners
  • Past trauma (attachment wounds, betrayal) being triggered within the complexities of multiple relationships
  • Feeling isolated if you lack community or support systems that understand CNM

You’re realizing that navigating polyamory/CNM is getting in the way of your life:
