What is polyamory and consensual non-monogamy?
Polyamory and consensual non-monogamy (CNM) are relationship structures that involve having multiple romantic or sexual partners with the consent and knowledge of all parties involved. Unlike traditional monogamous relationships, which involve exclusivity between two partners, polyamorous and CNM relationships embrace openness, honesty, and ethical communication. Participants in polyamorous relationships may form deep emotional connections with multiple partners, while CNM may involve various forms of non-exclusive arrangements, such as open relationships, swinging, or polyfidelity. These relationship styles challenge societal norms around monogamy and offer individuals the opportunity to explore diverse expressions of love, intimacy, and connection.
Effective support for polyamory and consensual non-monogamy
Effective therapy for individuals and couples navigating polyamory and CNM focuses on fostering healthy communication, addressing jealousy and insecurity, and navigating complex relationship dynamics. Therapists who specialise in polyamory and CNM provide a non-judgmental and supportive space for clients to explore their desires, boundaries, and relationship agreements. They help clients develop skills for managing jealousy, negotiating boundaries, and maintaining trust and intimacy within their non-monogamous relationships. Additionally, therapy can address societal stigma and provide validation and affirmation for individuals living alternative relationship lifestyles.

Trouble in the Bedroom: Creating solutions for differences in sexual needs and wants
Recently, I was asked one of the most common questions in sex- and couples therapy: “After x years[1] of relationship I find myself wanting more (or different) sex than my partner does. I still love them. But I already started engaging with someone else to get my needs met. Do I have to separate from
Things My Polyamorous Therapist Friends Say
For the sixth episode of the It’s Complicated podcast,
Reece Cox ventures into the realm of multilove. The episode is captivating and only left me curious for more brain pickings, so I wrote not just one of the interviewed psychotherapist, Mathias Funke, but also two other counsellors specialised in polyamory, Rosanna Wendel and Phil Sheldon. This is what came out of my probing.
