Consensual non-monogamous relationships have become increasingly visible in recent years within Western culture. While monogamy remains a deeply meaningful and fulfilling choice for many, therapists are also encountering more patients who are exploring or practicing non-monogamy.

This course is designed to provide therapists with foundational knowledge of the terminology and frameworks of non-monogamy, an introduction to the various forms of consensual non-monogamous relationships, and basic tools for supporting patients in this area.

Throughout the course, we will explore how to establish agreements within non-monogamous relationships and how to address clinical themes such as disclosure of non-monogamous involvement, sexuality in non-monogamous contexts, asymmetry and imbalances across relationships, working with jealousy, and managing harmful relational patterns in non-monogamous dynamics.
