About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

solid read. more of a self help book with a poly lense but taught me a lot about attachment theory and how it affects yours and others relationships. helped me understand some of the behavior in one of my partners.

Recommend this to not only those seeking advice about being polyamorous but also those in monogamous and solo relationships.
