All relationships take work.

But sometimes non-monogamous relationships specifically can require us to be especially attentive to communication, self-awareness, and potentially sticky subjects like jealousy, boundaries, and asking for what we want & need. To help with these efforts, this workshop presents essential skills to successfully navigating your non-monogamous relationships including:

• identifying root feelings to jealousy
• how to manage & cope with jealousy
• how to respond to your jealous partners
• effective emotional communication
• setting healthy boundaries & making needs requests rather than enacting control
• creating gradual relationship agreements that work for you & your partner/s
• relational rupture repair
• and therapeutic interventions & theories that’ve proven helpful to my non-monogamous clients in my work as a therapist 

This workshop will be part lecture, part discussion, and part interactive practice with communication skills, boundary-setting, and making effective requests of our partners.

Participants of the workshop will get access to online resources including helpful worksheets & exercises to do by yourself and/or with your partners as well as article, book, and other resource recommendations for non-monogamous folks.

Please note that this workshop is *not* a Non-Monogamy 101 class

and assumes a basic level of understanding of non-monogamous relationships including why folks might be drawn to them, the potential challenges, and what differentiates consensual non-monogamy from unethical relational behavior. Topics in this workshop will benefit non-monogamous relationships from brand new to well-worn, and concepts taught can be easily applied to monogamous and kinky relationships as well (we’ll just be focused on non-monogamous contexts in the workshop). Please bring a pen and something to take notes on!
