Book

Open Deeply

A Guide to Building Conscious,Compassionate Open Relationships

By Kate Loree, LMFT

Picking up where consensual non-monogamy (CNM) self-help books like Opening Up, The Ethical Slut, and More Than Two leave off, Open Deeply tackles the most difficult challenges posed by CNM.

Non-monogamy is a wild and woolly ride—and Open Deeply is here to help make it a great one. 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 cuttingedge, 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.

Overview:

One-fifth of the United States has engaged in CNM at some point in their lives, and 29 percent of adults under thirty today consider open relationships to be morally acceptable—yet there are few resources to turn to when it comes to navigating this more non-traditional and explorative territory.
Open Deeply is an in-depth guide to building compassionate and healthy relationships.
Open Deeply is an educational resource for readers who are curious about non-monogamy, as well as those looking to better themselves for current and future relationships.
