Description

People with secure attachment are able to internalize their partners’ love, carrying it with them even when they’re physically separate, emotionally disconnected or in conflict.

This item in our shop may throw a few people for a loop. Why a book about Polyamory? Well it’s not necessarily for that purpose. Remember the adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Originally recommended to me by a monogamous married couple, this book is useful for ANYONE who is interested in self-acceptance and self-mastery, as well as their own emotional well-being as they build loving, sustainable, healthy relationships of any kind.

Description on Amazon:

Attachment theory has entered the mainstream, but most discussions focus on how we can cultivate secure monogamous relationships. What if, like many people, you’re striving for secure, happy attachments with more than one partner? Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern breaks new ground by extending attachment theory into the realm of consensual nonmonogamy. Using her nested model of attachment and trauma, she expands our understanding of how emotional experiences can influence our relationships. Then, she sets out six specific strategies to help you move toward secure attachments in your multiple relationships. Polysecure is both a trailblazing theoretical treatise and a practical guide.
