Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Non-monogamy

A practical application of attachment theory principles to relationships beyond monogamy explores new possibilities for those seeking secure emotional bonds with multiple partners. Although attachment theory is widely recognized, discussions often center on fostering stability in monogamous connections. For individuals interested in secure connections with more than one partner, this can feel limiting. Jessica Fern, a psychotherapist specializing in polyamory, breaks new ground by broadening the application of attachment theory to consensual non-monogamous scenarios. Her approach incorporates a nested model of attachment and trauma, deepening the understanding of how emotional experiences impact relationships. Fern introduces six clear strategies aimed at achieving secure attachments across multiple partnerships, offering insightful guidance. "Polysecure" serves as both a pioneering theoretical work and a practical handbook, equipping non-monogamous individuals with innovative tools to manage complex, loving relationships. The book introduces transformative concepts poised to reshape discussions surrounding attachment theory.
