Therapist Kate Loree--who has practiced non-monogamy since 2003, and who specializes in treating clients who also practice non-monogamy--pulls no punches as she uses vignettes based on her own life, as well as her clients' experiences, to illustrate the highs, lows, and in-betweens of life as a consensual non-monogamist. Interwoven with these stories are thorough explanations of how attachment theory impacts non-monogamy, how blending cutting-edge, neurobiology-informed grounding skills with effective communication skills will make even the most challenging conversations regarding non-monogamy manageable, and more. The result is a compassionate, attachment-focused template for non-monogamy that will allow readers to avoid pitfalls and find adventure while concurrently building healthy relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-monogamy is a wild and woolly ride--and \u003ci\u003eOpen Deeply\u003c\/i\u003e is here to help make it a great one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLoree, Kate:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kate Loree, LMFT, is a sex-positive licensed marriage and family therapist with a specialty in non-monogamous, kink, LGBTQ, and sex worker communities.
