Description

Whether you see individuals or couples, more clients than ever need help navigating open relationships. Problem is: many therapists don’t know how to help, and even more aren’t sure polyamory can even work. In this workshop, you’ll get a robust introduction to clinical work with non-monogamous clients and explore one of the most important aspects of well-functioning polyamory: clear agreements. You’ll learn: 

  • A practical, easy-to-implement approach to support you clients in making clear, effective relationship agreements that last 
  • The key relational patterns that lead to broken agreements, and how to support clients in developing more effective strategies 
  • How to adapt your favourite structured conversation process to support effective agreement-making in real time  
  • What goes into making an effective repair following a broken agreement
