​

Consensual non-monogamy (CNM) can bring joy, freedom, and connection but it also asks for deep honesty and strong communication. This 90-minute workshop offers practical, evidence-based tools to help participants navigate jealousy, express boundaries, and build emotional security in multi-partner relationships. Drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Training (DBT) and the Gottman Method, participants will reflect on their own needs and communication styles while learning skills to foster trust and repair across relationships. If you identify as someone involved in some form of Consensual Non-Monogamy this reflective space will help you strengthen your connection to yourself and those you love.​

​

In this workshop you will learn:

1. Evidence-based tools to improve communication in CNM contexts;

2. To identify and express emotional needs using EFT-informed language;

3. To strengthen boundary-setting and self-advocacy skills through DBT’s DEAR MAN framework;

4. To introduce repair and reconnection techniques validated by the Gottman Method;

5. How to support self-awareness and emotional regulation across multiple attachment relationships.

Bring a ​pen and journal or paper and be ready for reflection.
