In this engaging 90-minute webinar, we’ll explore the ever changing world of consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships. Clinicians will gain fluency in the language and diverse structures of CNM, while developing practical skills to support clients in cultivating the joyful, loving relationships they choose. We’ll also reflect on the personal beliefs and biases we bring into the therapy room learning how to recognize and work with them skillfully, so they don’t interfere with the therapeutic process.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Engage in generative self-of-the-therapist work
- Develop a more CNM-inclusive and nuanced framework for therapy
- Use basic CNM terminology appropriately
- Help clients communicate better and manage emotions and patterns commonly related to CNM
Who Should Watch:
Mental health professionals, therapists, and social workers
