A staggering one-fifth of the United States has dabbled in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) at some point in their lives, and a remarkable 29 percent of adults under the age of thirty today consider open relationships to be morally acceptable. Despite this growing acceptance, there are limited resources available to individuals seeking guidance on navigating this more unconventional and explorative terrain.

Picking up where CNM self-help books like "Polysecure," "The Ethical Slut," and "More Than Two" leave off, "Open Deeply" delves into the most challenging aspects of CNM. Therapist Kate Loree, with over a decade of experience practicing non-monogamy and a specialization in treating clients who also engage in this lifestyle, takes a no-holds-barred approach, employing vignettes based on her own life and her clients' experiences to vividly illustrate the highs, lows, and in-betweens of life as a consensual non-monogamist. Interwoven with these personal narratives are comprehensive explanations of how attachment theory impacts non-monogamy, how blending cutting-edge, neuroscience-informed grounding skills with effective communication skills can make even the most difficult conversations surrounding non-monogamy manageable, and more.

The result is a compassionate, attachment-focused template for non-monogamy that empowers readers to navigate the complexities of this unconventional relationship style while simultaneously fostering healthy and fulfilling relationships. Whether you're a seasoned CNM practitioner or someone who is just curious about exploring this realm, "Open Deeply" is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the wild and woolly world of non-monogamy with confidence and grace.
